DEI Choral Literature Intensive 2024

DEI Choral Literature Intensive

In its second year, this event (now fully online) features ten lectures on outstanding music of historically excluded composers and populations, as well as listening and discussion sessions. 2024 participants will have permanent access to all 2024 AND 2023 intensive materials. 

Hosted by Drs. Elizabeth Schauer and James Higgs, the intensive is appropriate for conductors, choral faculty and other music teachers seeking more or more in-depth DEI resources for concert programming, and for choral literature, music history and music appreciation courses, as well as for graduate and undergraduate students who wish to supplement more traditional educational experiences.

The schedule is based in MST.

Registration is $175 and participants can register up through June 13.
