REPERTOIRE
The focus of the repertoire is on two great choral masters, Benjamin Britten and Leonard Bernstein. Building ensemble and teaching this repertoire would be part of the Demonstration Rehearsal and the Conducting Master Class. For the Master Class, all the workshop participants will also sing this repertoire. Given that the repertoire will be new to most people, we will target smaller sections from each piece and work in targeted segments. This method will demonstrate how to plan rehearsals from the knowledge of the repertoire.
