The Choral Director’s Toolbox This Week

October 27, 2025 by wbakerfestivalsingers-org Leave a Comment

Enjoy all 43 episodes of The Choral Director’s Toolbox for FREE at www.ChoralFoundation.org/toolbox

In Episode 43 of The Choral Director’s Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker reflects on Money-Ball, exploring what professional sports can teach the arts about value, economics, and perspective.  He challenges arts leaders to rethink attitudes toward wealth, business, and success–reminding us that the prosperity of one sector often fuels the sustainability of another.  This week’s listener question tackles the difficult process of replacing an accompanist who isn’t meeting expectations, with practical and compassionate guidance for directors facing tough personnel decisions.  Today’s inspiration is Byron Smith’s rousing gospel anthem Worthy to Be Praised, performed by The William Baker Festival Singers and soloist Scott Smith.  Join us for a candid, thought-provoking, and uplifting episode on leadership, stewardship, and gratitude.
