The Choral Entrepreneur track is a new approach to Conference that will connect you with others that are passionate about forging new paths in the choral field. Whether you want to establish a new chorus, revitalize an existing organization, or break ground on an industry-changing initiative, there will be a place for you at the table.

The sessions below are curated with you in mind by three entrepreneurial leaders in the field: Marie Bucoy-Calacan, Brandon Elliott, and Robert Istad. You’ll see Marie, Brandon, and Rob at these sessions. As you meet friends and colleagues at these sessions, you will engage as a group throughout Conference via social media and entrepreneur “meet-ups” at nearby restaurants and bars to continue these conversations.

all need to surround ourselves with people that push us to be our best and most creative selves. The Choral Entrepreneur track will empower you to motivate others and find your own unique voice!
