This year’s first CMI was held in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, August 22-24, 2008. The CMI was held for the first time in Canada, hosted by Chorus Niagara and sponsored by Canada Council for the Arts in collaboration with the Association of Canadian Choral Conductors and Choirs Ontario. Chorus America has offered its acclaimed Chorus Management Institute (CMI) in San Francisco, Boston, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Princeton, Minneapolis, and Pittsburgh. This year we set our sights on Canada. The intensive 3-day workshop covers fundraising, board development, marketing, leadership transitions, and strategic planning. Taught by expert faculty, the interactive sessions and dynamic activities are the closest thing to a chorus management "crash course" available. CMIs are offered at economical rates, presented with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and other regional funders in each location. |

| CONDUCTING MASTERCLASS |
With the guidance of the Conducting Programs Task Force, Chorus America produces advanced education and enrichment opportunities to prepare choral conductors for lifetime professional conducting careers. Conducting masterclasses are designed to give emerging professional conductors the opportunity to work with coaches on skills to help them meet the challenges beyond their university training in choral-orchestral conducting, a cappella repertoire, and the unique challenges of directing a children's chorus. The masterclasses also address non-musical responsibilities of being a conductor and provide other career-enhancing information. Check back for announcements about upcoming Masterclasses. |
