National R&S Chair for Men’s Choirs
STUDENT/DIRECTOR WOMEN’S HONOR CHOIR
Dr. Judy Bowers, conductor
Professor of Choral Music Education at Florida State University
These honor choirs will take place in conjunction with the 16th Annual Summer Conference for Choral Musicians at the Pennsylvania State University Main Campus from August 1-3, 2010
Men’s and Women’s Honor Choir Dates: Saturday, July 31 – Sunday, August 1, 2010
Ensemble Make-up: ACDA member directors from high schools and colleges in Pennsylvania may nominate quartets of students to join them in singing in the honor choirs. It is important that these quartets be balanced voices of either men or women (S1 S2 A1 A2 or T1 T2 B1 B2). At this time there is not a limit on the amount of quartets a director can bring but we would like for directors to bring the same amount of male and female quartets if possible.
Repertoire: Each of the Men’s and Women’s Honor Choirs will sing independently and then will combine for two SATB numbers so that we can experience working with both of our esteemed conductors and so that all directors and students may join together in the music making process.
