Plenary - Cross-Cultural Choral Collaborations

Singing communities can be spaces that cultivate cross-cultural learning for artists and singers. Join leaders Andrew Balfour, Nola Nahulu, and Jerod Tate as they discuss how their diverse indigenous heritages and identities as conductors, composers, and teachers of choral music aid in keeping cultural traditions alive. They’ll talk with moderator Karen Thomas about their experiences building meaningful relationships and collaborations, how mentorship has guided them, and how these practices foster community.
