Podcasts about Chamber Singers

“I wanted to get kids to work more collaboratively. We say we're a collaborative group, but the conductor is behind the piano teaching the choir parts rather than saying, ‘here's the part I want you to learn. Go learn it. Here are the expectations and come back and self-assess yourself.' So, I designed performance tasks. I'll work on it as a group first, so they have some capacity for it. Then I'll have them break into sectionals and go reinforce it.”William Gunn is the director of music at Plymouth Regional High School where he conducts the Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, and teaches a year long guitar elective. He is also the music director of the Pemigewasset Choral Society in Plymouth, NH, and a teaching lecturer in music education at Plymouth State University.

“So many people view conducting as a reflection of the music, and if that works for them, that's great. I view conducting as a reflection of the movement. Undergrads aren't always predisposed to musical language, but they are already predisposed to the language that Laban uses: time, space, weight, flow. Instead of saying 'that's not marcato enough,' you could instead say 'that's not heavy enough' or ‘direct enough.' That's language that we're already familiar with as people.”Dr. Eric Rubinstein is Director of Choral Activities and Assistant Professor of Music at Nazareth University, where he directs the Chamber Singers and Treble Choir and teaches additional coursework in conducting and music education. Prior to his appointment at Nazareth, Dr. Rubinstein served as Assistant Professor of Choral Music Education at the Aaron Copland School of Music, Queens College (CUNY).Ensembles under his direction have been recognized across New York and New England for performances of the highest artistic caliber.

The newest directions in 21st Century trumpet performance are being explored and defined by Courtney Jones, an award-winning Bach performing and recording artist who has also emerged as a leading figure in contemporary performance and pedagogy, conducting, and service to inner-city youth through music outreach programs. An artist who transcends stylistic boundaries and in high demand as a clinician and adjudicator, Courtney has performed with classical ensembles and orchestras throughout the United States, internationally, and has won multiple solo awards and accolades through regional and national trumpet competitions. This journey began in Jones' hometown of Columbus, Georgia. While earning his Bachelor of Music degree at Columbus State University, Courtney performed with various Columbus State University ensembles and recorded with artists such as Jens Lindemann, Joseph Alessi, John Bruce Yeh, and the Columbus State University Wind Ensemble under the Naxos Music label. While completing his Master of Music degree in Trumpet Performance at Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester, Virginia, Courtney studied under the instruction of J. Carlton Rowe, former Principal Trumpet of the “President's Own” United States Marine Band, Craig Fraedrich of The U.S. Army Blues, and performed as Substitute Principal with the Loudon Symphony Orchestra of Leesburg, Virginia. He also had additional studies with Steve Hendrickson of the National Symphony Orchestra Courtney conducted his doctoral studies at UCLA under the instruction of international soloist and former lead trumpet of the Canadian Brass, Jens Lindemann. During his time at UCLA, Courtney worked as a Teaching Associate for lecture courses and provided weekly lessons for university trumpet students under the direction of Lindemann. Winner of a Gluck Fellowship, Jones was then selected as the conductor of the UCLA Brass Ensemble during the latter part of his residency. His musicological research during this period explored 21st Century ideological and transcendental concepts of performance practice focusing on a lesser-known contemporary work of composer Frank Ticheli, The First Voice for Solo Bb Trumpet. The intention of this dissertation was to broaden the technical capabilities of 21st century performers and shed light on the ideological and philosophical foundations of Ticheli's composition. While the study is largely analytic and interpretive, the main purpose and goal is to help modern trumpet players develop more confidence in performing Ticheli's music and other contemporary compositions in related genres. Before completing his doctorate, Courtney was appointed as the Visiting Assistant Professor of Trumpet at the Voxman School of Music at the University of Iowa. During his two-year residency Jones served as the Principal Trumpet for the Iowa Faculty Brass Quintet, taught Graduate Brass Pedagogy and Literature, and served on recital and graduate committees. He was asked to lead the University's top performing Jazz Ensemble (director on leave) and produced an engaging performance concert by the University's Brass Ensemble (which had previously been inactive for a number of years) to showcase the importance of Brass Bands as an engaging training ground for solidifying technical and pedagogical facility for brass players. In addition to his applied obligations, Courtney performed with Orchestra Iowa, the Dubuque Symphony, and gave solo performances with both the Cedar Rapids Municipal Band and New Horizons Band. One of which was the Midwest Premiere of Kim Scharnberg's Travelogue for Eb Trumpet. Besides performing with well-known jazz and popular artists, he has shared the stage with famous artists or groups such as Kenny Burrell, B.B. King, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Rihanna, Lalo Schifrin, Vanessa Williams, Boy George and The Culture Club, Jennifer Cox, and Stevie Wonder. In addition to his solo performance career, Courtney has performed with the Golden States Pop Orchestra, the Southeast Symphony Orchestra, the Macao Orchestra (China), the Pasadena Orchestra, the Debut Orchestra, the Inspiravi Chamber Orchestra, the Gateways Festival Orchestra, the Orchid City Brass Band, the Oslo Philharmonic (Norway), the Long Beach Opera, the Chamber Singers of Iowa City, the Salt-River Brass Band, the Gateways Brass Collective, and most recently had his Carnegie Hall and Metropolitan Art Museum performance debut this past May in New York. His feature film and television credits include music performed for “Glee,” “Notes from Dad,” “Cougar Town,” and “Criminal Minds” among other productions listed under the media tab of his website. Prior to his appointment at Florida Atlantic University as the Assistant Professor of Trumpet & Artistic Director of Jazz and Chamber Ensembles, Jones was a Lecturer of Music at Columbus State University while recording his Solo CD project, “Between 2 Worlds,” at the Joyce and Henry Schwob School of Music. Between teaching and solo performing engagements, Dr. Jones has and continues to promote music education and instrumental performance in inner-city schools through the Music Outreach Program at UCLA, The Harmony Project of Los Angeles, Trumpets 4 Kids in Dallas, Texas, and the Nat King Cole Generation Hope, Inc. Each of these programs offers schoolchildren art-in-education opportunities. These programs are essential because they provide underserved, inner-city students, and communities with musical training and mentorship that would otherwise be inaccessible.

We spend so much time learning to work together." - Matthew Gardner"I entered my teaching career with all these ideals about teaching choral music, but what if they don't receive those ideals?

Bruckners lateinische Motetten gehören zu den populärsten Werken der A-Cappella-Literatur. Die 2015 gegründeten Zurich Chamber Singers tun es auf ihrer neuen CD ebenfalls – aber anders als andere. Bruckner als Zentrum der Musikgeschichte: Das klingt anders als gewohnt, und es klingt aufregend, findet SWR2-Kritikerin Susanne Benda.

Musikchefin Ursula Magnes über die CD der Woche.

"It's not about the notes. It's not about the rhythms. It's about connection. It's about getting a connection with each other, a connection to the conductor, and a connection to the music -- and discovering that it's a relationship with the music that will make a huge difference. I'm there as facilitator to make that happen."Dr. Edith A.

For Part I of the interview, please see Previous Post With a shared passion for Music, Text & Story, we talk about the many hurdles young musicians face in getting the support they need to succeed. We talk about the impact of the pandemic and the lessons we've learned along the way. Most importantly we talk about the soul-deep need for community that is the human experience, and how we can use music to connect. New music powerhouse Dr. Lisa Neher (pronouns: she/her, last name pronounced "NEER") is an award-winning composer, mezzo-soprano, and actress on a mission to transform audiences through sound, story, and vulnerability. Described as a “maestro of beautifully wacky noises” (Oregon ArtsWatch) and a composer of “varied and imitable” vocal lines (Contemporary Classical), Lisa writes music inspired by female athleticism, the tender love of friends, the ambiguities of death, and the eerie mystery of deep ocean life. Praised as “a small woman with a very big voice” and “especially alive” (Oregon ArtsWatch), Lisa captivates audiences as a performer with her electrifying dramatic commitment and unforgettable vocal colors. Lisa's musical-theatrical fluency and passion for contemporary music have led to engagements such as Reciter for William Walton's Façade with the Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra, the world premiere of Space Station 189: A Micro-Opera for Instagram at New Music Gathering, the first staged version of Sun Songs: Three Micro-Operas by Augusta Read Thomas with the Center for New Music, the world premiere of Aaron Israel Levin's Fiumana, for mezzo-soprano singing while playing the bass drum, and the leading role of Jennifer in the world premiere of Rita Ueda's chamber opera One Thousand White Paper Cranes for Japan with the Singaporean ensemble Chamber Sounds. Her recent engagements include performances with Third Angle New Music, the Resonance Ensemble, Opera Theatre Oregon, Queer Opera, and the International Saxophone Symposium.

With a shared passion for Music, Text & Story, we talk about the many hurdles young musicians face in getting the support they need to succeed. We talk about the impact of the pandemic and the lessons we've learned along the way. Most importantly we talk about the soul-deep need for community that is the human experience, and how we can use music to connect. New music powerhouse Dr. Lisa Neher (pronouns: she/her, last name pronounced "NEER") is an award-winning composer, mezzo-soprano, and actress on a mission to transform audiences through sound, story, and vulnerability. Described as a “maestro of beautifully wacky noises” (Oregon ArtsWatch) and a composer of “varied and imitable” vocal lines (Contemporary Classical), Lisa writes music inspired by female athleticism, the tender love of friends, the ambiguities of death, and the eerie mystery of deep ocean life. Praised as “a small woman with a very big voice” and “especially alive” (Oregon ArtsWatch), Lisa captivates audiences as a performer with her electrifying dramatic commitment and unforgettable vocal colors. Lisa's musical-theatrical fluency and passion for contemporary music have led to engagements such as Reciter for William Walton's Façade with the Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra, the world premiere of Space Station 189: A Micro-Opera for Instagram at New Music Gathering, the first staged version of Sun Songs: Three Micro-Operas by Augusta Read Thomas with the Center for New Music, the world premiere of Aaron Israel Levin's Fiumana, for mezzo-soprano singing while playing the bass drum, and the leading role of Jennifer in the world premiere of Rita Ueda's chamber opera One Thousand White Paper Cranes for Japan with the Singaporean ensemble Chamber Sounds. Her recent engagements include performances with Third Angle New Music, the Resonance Ensemble, Opera Theatre Oregon, Queer Opera, and the International Saxophone Symposium.

Good Morning it's Tuesday June 15th and this is Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today -  It might have the shortest parade in recent Apple Blossom history, but no one seemed to care. After more than a year of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, people were thrilled just to be outside with good weather on Saturday.   Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA.   --   Now our feature story…    It might have the shortest parade in recent Apple Blossom history with around 92 mostly local entries, but no one seemed to care. After more than a year of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, people were just happy to be outside with good weather enjoying a parade.   There was no 2020 Apple Blossom parade so this 2021 Stemilt and Keyes Fibre Community Parade was a welcome sight indeed. Community members lined the route along Orondo Avenue.   Because there was no parade in 2020, the 2020 Apple Blossom royalty was included in the parade this year.   2020 Apple Blossom Queen Tess Sparks said that she's excited they've been able to be included in the parade. Sparks just finished her first year at CWU, where she played soccer.   The 2021 Apple Blossom Queen Brooke Perez said she loves including the 2020 royalty in this year's parade. She noted that it was great to share the experience with Queen Tess.   For many of the parade participants, this is their first parade of the year. Wenatchee Mayor Frank Kuntz said it actually might be one of the first festivals in the Northwest.   But he also said it was a close call to make this year's festival happen.   Credit to Darci Christoferson and the board of the Apple Blossom Festival. And of course the Health District that gave approval.   One of the annual participants is the Leavenworth Float, which this year featured the familiar Gustav onion dome and Alpenhorn players. Scott Bradshaw, the 2019 Royal Bavarian Kanzler, said this is their first parade and they are excited about it.   Bradshaw said they're hoping to go to five or six parades this year.   Nita Paine and Arlene Jones were also a part of the parade - they represented the 2020 Grand Marshals from the Music Theater of Wenatchee. Riding behind them was the cast of the new show, "MaMa Mia," directed by Paul and Kelly Atwood.   The Spokane Lilac Festival was also well represented at the Apple Blossom Festival. It was their first parade of the year. Dan Verheul, the 2021-22 president of the Lilac Festival, said it has been a challenging year.   The Lilac Festival is a scholarship program, so they were still able to have a court last year and scholarships, but they were not able to get out into the community to do the things they wanted to do.    Still, they are excited about this year.   They'll have about six parades this year. Verheul said they're looking forward to each and every one of them. This is the first time this float has been out. It's been in the making for two year since they've been doing nothing but working.   Lilac Festival Queen Julia said she is happy to get out too.   This is their first parade so it is the trail run for it all but Queen Julia and the court were thrilled to be out.   Finally, we spoke to Charlotte Allen who has been in Wenatchee for 41 years and never missed a parade until last year. Or rather, the parade missed her.   Allen thought the parade was good, though not as good as some years.   To see photos of the event visit us at wenatcheeworld.com   -   Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

Three more singers joined the group and WVC piano faculty Ken Hunnicutt returned as the choir accompanist.   But some challenges remained.   Singing with masks turned out to be quite difficult. Masks significantly decreased everyone's volume and robbed the choir of a resonant tone and nuance in dynamics. No one could take a full breath with a mask on either.   They eventually spaced themselves out around the edges of the recital hall to meet the 15 feet of separation required to sing without masks.   Their practice schedules also were hindered by ongoing COVID-19 concerns.   They kept at it, though.   With just the spring term left in the school year, they were learning a new music selection every week to prepare for what they hoped would be a chance to sing in concert at least once.   In a normal year, they would perform three times each term, so in addition to missing out on 20 weeks of practice, they didn't get the chance to experience performing before a crowd.   But Cave B was their first performance of the term.   The opportunity to perform at the winery's outdoor venue was an unexpected bonus, he said.   It turns out one of the members of Chamber Singers is a grandchild to the owners of Cave B Winery ... . And partway through the term, they graciously offered to host our performance at Stage B.    So what can we expect from the WVC in the future?    Well, the WVC music department is also working on introducing a Mariachi program - anticipated to start in the fall 2022.   They have always included some Mariachi or Latinx music staples in their repertoire.    -   Here's what else you need to know today…   Governor Jay Inslee recently announced incentives that are available to Washington state residents who have received the Covid-19 vaccine. He noted that they're making the investment to hopefully save more lives.   Before we go, some local history,  Wenatchee Valley History, is brought to you by NABUR [this is pronounced just like neighbor] – your trusted neighborhood community.

A few years later, in 1895 the first Entiat Post Office was established. The Entiat Power Plant opened for business in 1908.    The Keystone Fruit Company opened for business in the valley in 1910, and railroad service began in Entiat in 1914. But in 1915 a second fire threatened the "first" town of Entiat and only six businesses survived. Nevertheless Entiat was officially incorporated on April 25, 1944.   -   Thanks for listening.

In light of all the musical beauty and palpable excellence of this new release, it is hard to tell whose merit it is: the Chamber Singers', or conductor David Holdhusen's? Most likely, the answer lies within the question: One cannot tell, because all elements of this recording – composers named and unnamed, the choir singers, the conductor – work so astoundingly well in unison, just as you'd expect from a truly brilliant ensemble.

I remember sitting on my bed one day and crying (sobbing) to my best teaching friend, Valerie, that I had made the wrong decision to go to graduate school. That I couldn't do it. I was not good enough and was crazy for thinking I could. Simply put, my first year of graduate school for my masters in music was not easy. But my second year felt like a breeze in comparison. There were many reasons for that, one being this. The one factor that was my constant during those 2 years and provided me a source of mentorship, friendship, and sarcasm was Dr. Ryan Holder. I was a graduate assistant for Dr. Holder (or as oft affectionally referred to as "Holder") and learned not just music from this man, but how to be a better person. In this episode, you'll hear a rare side to the professor who likes to be known for the fear he invokes in his women's chorale. We talk about vulnerability and depression. We talk about vocal jazz and women's choir music. We talk about his latest collaboration with the Sedona Academy of Chamber Singers that is already gaining talk of a Grammy nod. You'll hear how his passion for teaching students and helping them learn is why he was such an important part of my journey as a musician and why he continues to impact so many other students past and present.

Michael Yannette took over six years ago as director of choir and musical theater at Cherokee Central Schools . From the beginning, he faced a challenge he never encountered in his previous 25 years of teaching. "I remember the first day I got here and I met the old choir director," he recalled. "I remember going into the cabinets and seeing these little plastic elbow pipes, and he said, 'Well, we use it so the kids can hear themselves sing.' They hold one up to their mouth and the other to their ear, and I was like 'okay.'" Suffice to say, these students no longer need the elbow pipes. Over the past few years, as the Cherokee Chamber Singers--they've performed at the Smithsonian, Carnegie Hall and DisneyWorld, along with North Carolina's capital and other locales in the state.

This week’s episode is an interview with Matt Bishop, music teacher at the Dunecrest American School in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. A year ago Matt was an early twenties suburban middle school choir teacher, having only ever lived in North Carolina and did not even own a passport. What led him to pursue such a drastic change and why? What hurdles did he jump personally and professionally to learn, apply, and accept this position? What is teaching at an international school like, especially a school in the Middle East? How has he grown as a person and musician in the past year? If you’ve ever wanted to know what the process for international teaching is, Matt walks us through his experience. Or, if you’ve ever felt trapped and unhappy in your current situation, Matt humbly shares his own struggles and how he took control of his life. You will be inspired by Matt’s story and come away with yet another example of how choir can change your life.  ----------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Bishop is a lyric tenor, conductor, and teacher.  A native of North Carolina, he holds a Bachelor’s of Music in Music Education from University of North Carolina School at Greensboro.  While at UNCG, he performed as a soloist and chorister with the Schola Cantorum, University Chorale, and Chamber Singers.  He was also the first undergraduate student at UNCG to assemble a choir and program for an undergraduate conducting recital, An Evening of Choral Classics.   Upon graduation, Mr. Bishop became the Choral Director at Holly Grove Middle School in Holly Springs, North Carolina.  His students received honors such as selection for North Carolina Middle School Honors Chorus, All State and All County choirs.  Bishop was also an active member of his Professional Learning Team and served as the All County Chorus Festival Coordinator.

Her background is in piano, not teaching, but she learned from outstanding mentors while accompanying the LACC LACC is famous for bel canto teaching technique, producing a uniquely pure and resonant sound. On repertoire: Latin, Italian, German, Hebrew, Spanish, and Japanese are all good language choices for children, focusing on Italianate vowels. When selecting repertoire, focus on educating not just your students, but also your audience. Have the children talk about the piece, helping parents understand why we make these musical choices. Pick repertoire that supports the technique of the choir. Balance your selections, considering, unison, parts, sweet melodies, and more rhythmic selections. Can’t find a piece in a sharp key (better for young voices)? Transpose. Your choir is bigger than just the children in it Want to build relationships with other community arts organizations? Just ask for an opportunity to meet and share your goals and vision for a partnership. Invite them to your concerts, have children talk to them, demonstrate how their ticket sales are likely to increase. Teach children how to sing for a lifetime, technique that will allow them to sing in whatever style they choose as an adult. Shaping a singer is a long game, and children can damage their voices singing in styles that are not developmentally appropriate.

Beth Richey-Sullivan discusses strategies for surviving the most perilous of choir director jobs: taking over a program from a rockstar. When your predecessor is both beloved and skilled, the incoming director needs “the skin of an elephant and the heart of a butterfly.” This episode is full of jaw-dropping examples that Beth culls from this past year of taking over from an adored former director. Her warmth, encouragement, and wisdom is required listening for anyone stepping into a new job. Listen: Highlight to Tweet: “You need to have the skin of an elephant, and the heart of a butterfly.” -Beth Richey-Sullivan Show Notes: Be transparent with your administration, both in your needs and expectations. You need the skin of an elephant, and the heart of a butterfly (Be tough-skinned, but tenderhearted). Beth and her husband have fostered 13 children over three years, many of whom deal with their pain with outwardly aggressive behavior. “See their behavior as their pain.” “I will treat you with respect, so that you know how to treat me.” It’s a long game, but worth the extra time it takes. Beth has a history of dealing with kids with trauma. When a director leaves, it is a loss for them. You're dealing with a traumatic situation. 3 Key Takeaways: Do the best you can, and realize the eye rolls aren’t about you. See their behavior as their pain. Consistently model the respect and behavior you want them to reflect back at you.
