Exploring Cultural Appropriation in Choral Music

Do choral directors and their ensembles have the right to perform music from cultures other than their own? If so, then what are the rules or standards by which choral music from other cultures can be explored? Based on scholarly research, this webinar will examine the definition of cultural appropriation, its intersection with choral music, and best practices for rehearsal and performance.
