In this week’s episode of The Choral Director’s Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker reflects on the vital role of mentorship and leadership development in Choral Interns. Drawing from more than four decades of experience, he outlines how thoughtful internship programs can shape the next generation of choral conductors–emphasizing meaningful podium time, comprehensive artistic involvement, and the responsibility of today’s leaders to invest in those who will carry the art forward.
In today’s listener question, a conductor grapples with how to respond to an unfair concert review. Dr. Baker offers practical and gracious guidance, encouraging professionalism, perspective, and proactive communication with members of the press.
Today’s Inspiration is Easter Morning by Olaf Christiansen, performed by The St. Olaf Choir under the direction of Dr. Kenneth Jennings, a simple and elegant anthem well-suited for the Sunday after Easter.
