Breaking Barriers: Performing Diverse & Accessible Music for All

We teach how we were taught! How do we continue to break down the barriers of the canon many of us learned and continue to share with our singers? This session will explore expanding the Western canon, focusing on women and BIPOC composers over the past 500 years who we will continue to perform, celebrate, and learn from. In addition to reading through scores and providing resources for use in rehearsals, accessible performance practice issues and critical historical implications will be discussed.
