Choral-Orchestral Engagements: Practical Guidance on Collaborating with Orchestras

This session will provide practical advice on the issues choruses often face when working with orchestras for concert engagements—from negotiating appropriate fees and recognition to performance conditions, rehearsal schedules, and score acquisition. Based on data gathered from Chorus America's chorus members as well as orchestra artistic administrators for a Chorus America publication, this session will point you to sample contracts and budget templates to use when negotiating your next engagement with an orchestra.
