Do you know anything about these summer programs?
  • I'm putting together my summer continuing education plans and am hoping Forum members might have some experience or knowledge of the workshops and seminars listed below. I have the official information about all of them, but am hoping to find out a little more before committing my time and money.

    [1] McGill Summer Organ Academy
    [2] Westminster Conducting Institute (James Jordan, et al.)
    [3] East Carolina Summer Choral Conducting Institute
    [4] Eastman Choral Institutes

    Thanks for any thoughts you have. Feel free to email me directly at [my first initial][my last name] {at} ubalt {dot} edu

    I liked it. There are various levels and instructors you want to choose. I can tell you more at the meeting.

  • Dr. William Tortolano is teaching a six-day class from May 31-June 5 at Enders Island in Mystic, Connecticut: http://www.endersisland.com/node/898. I took his chant express weekend a few years ago and enjoyed it and am considering taking his advanced weekend class in April. Dr. Tortolano is extremely knowledgeable and the setting is gorgeous.
