Working with Professional Singers: Exploring Practices and Structures

Is your chorus transitioning from an all-volunteer to a pro-core ensemble? Are you moving toward a fully professional model, or perhaps considering forming an entirely new professional group? Navigating these changes brings up a lot of questions, and requires an understanding of what will work best for the specific market and conditions under which your chorus operates. This panel will lead an interactive discussion that addresses policies and procedures, the legal considerations involved with singer agreements, and the different models to consider as you build an infrastructure.
