In Episode 46 of The Choral Director’s Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker shares timely insights in Christmas Collaborations, exploring how partnerships between adult, youth, and children’s choirs enrich performances, build audiences, and inspire future generations of singers. Drawing on decades of experience, Dr. Baker outlines practical strategies for successful collaboration–from programming and logistics to etiquette and engagement. This week’s listener question asks for meaningful reading recommendations for a post-Christmas music director’s retreat, with reflections on The Robert Shaw Reader and On Love by Pope Benedict XVI. Today’s inspiration is Aaron Copland’s radiant The Promise of Living from The Tender Land, performed by The Turtle Creek Chorale. Join us for an episode filled with wisdom, gratitude, and musical joy.
