The Choral Chameleon Institute
June 4, 2012 - June 12, 2012. Hunter College. New York City.
_ The Choral Chameleon Institute is an eight-day intensive
workshop in New York City, designed to immerse emerging composers and
conductors of choral music in the intricacies of the choral idiom in a
nurturing environment surrounded by respected professionals. It gives
students an opportunity to explore and experiment with writing and conducting
techniques in a "best-case scenario". During the course of the
institute, many new pieces of choral music are cultivated and ultimately
publicly performed, with live recording of the concert. Standards of the
choral repertoire serve as a springboard for young conductors to work on
challenging matters of gesture, musicianship, and rehearsal technique. Generous lab and podium time is given to all participants to ensure
maximum practical and hands-on experience. The Choral Chameleon Institute
also places heavy emphasis on Ear Training and Analysis as means of deep,
joyful discovery and informed, innovative interpretation.
