The Choral Director’s Toolbox This Week

In Episode 48 of The Choral Director’s Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker takes a lighthearted but meaningful look at The Ghost of Christmas Presents, the sometimes awkward expressions surrounding holiday gift-giving in choirs and music programs.  With warmth and humor, Dr. Baker shares lessons learned from experience and offers practical ways to foster genuine gratitude and generosity in the season of giving.  This week’s listener question tackles concert etiquette–how to help audiences understand and enjoy the concert experience with grace and good manners.  Today’s inspiration is Donald Fraser‘s elegant setting of This Christmastide, (Jessye’s Carol), performed by The William Baker Festival Singers from their album Images of Wonder.
