Recordings now available for the October 18 and October 25 sessions.

It is easier than ever for the choral community to explore diverse programming options, but a database of repertoire that satisfies certain criteria is good only insofar as concert programmers understand how best to use it, and understand why a diversity of perspectives is important in the first place. As part of an ongoing series, Choral Arts New England presents two online conversations around topics of diversity, equity and inclusion within classical music.

This webinar is now available on the Choral Arts New England YouTube channel, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUGabRmB-JQ&t=1s.

Join us on Sunday September 6 at 2 pm Eastern time for a panel discussion of Grants During a Time of Crisis. Choral Arts New England Board chair Gregory Brown will speak with artists, grant-makers, and grant-writers about their experiences in the roughly six months since the coronavirus pandemic took hold in the U.S., and about their hopes and concerns going forward. There will be time for questions from the audience.

To participate in the event, please register at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wTATtPngSOGOB7sMrGg-pw. A link will be sent to all registrants.

Recording now available! Choirs around the world are struggling with the prospect of a continued hiatus from in-person singing. Some choirs have begun to test methods for rehearsing and performing under their local social distancing guidelines. Others are experimenting with methods for singing together via the internet. It is a time of experimentation which is sometimes frustrating and confusing. Our guest panelists from around the world will share their experiences of negotiating the transition back to live performance and provide some perspective on the options open to us all as we think about a return to live, in-person — irreplaceable — communal singing.
