One from the Folder: Repertoire Thoughts for Women’s/Treble Choirs

#44. March 1, 2019

Greetings from the ACDA National Conference in Kansas City!

As part of the conference, I presented interest sessions Thursday at 10am and 11am, titled “Quality Accessible Repertoire for Intermediate and Small-but-Mighty Women’s/Treble Choirs.” This week’s blog is a series of links to the materials from my session. I invite you to read, scan, scour, and peruse these PDFs. Working with womens/treble ensembles truly is a professional passion of mine. If I can be a resource to you and your ensembles, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Until next time!
