Sarteano Chamber Choral Conducting Workshop
- This intensive conducting workshop is geared for music educators and choral
conductors with strong vocal ability who are interested in rehearsing and
performing chamber choral music. We heartily welcome qualified singers who are
interested in attending the workshop in a non-conducting capacity; who love to
sing in a chamber group environment and/or are very specifically looking to
learn rehearsal and conducting techniques. Up to two graduate credits are
available through The Boston Conservatory.
There are three possible tiers of participation: Full Conductor, Conducting Auditor, and Singer. The afternoon session will consist solely of daily conducting Master Classes with Simon Carrington. Each Full Conductor will conduct in every master class. This year we are again delighted to offer a Q&A/Dialogue session with Simon. The two-part morning session will consist of Vocal Pedagogy with Bronislawa Falinska utilizing the Rohmert Method of Functional Voicetraining; and clinics on developing a vital chamber choir, with Brian O'Connell. Conducting Auditors will also have time to conduct the ensemble.
