CONDUCT | COMPOSE | COLLABORATE
Pax Christi Chorale, under the direction of Elaine Choi, is pleased to announce a new, innovative program whereby musicians at the community level can enhance their skills under the guidance of four expert community music makers. P.S. (Pax Sessions) is a professional development opportunity for conductors of community choirs, music educators, choir accompanists, composers, and church musicians. Conductor Mark Ramsay, composer Marie-Claire Saindon, and collaborative pianist Joshua Tamayo are faculty members for the four sessions.
Twelve (12) applicants will be selected by jury as session participants – four conductors, four collaborative pianists, four composers. All selected participants will attend one group session on Zoom prior their in-person session at TEMC, facilitated by Elaine Choi, where they get to meet the P.S. faculty members and each other. Participants will then attend their respective in-person workshop (two for conductors). Following each workshop, participants will have a one-on-one session with their faculty member to debrief about the workshop and receive recommendation for further work.
Applicants not accepted as active participants are invited to attend the in-person sessions at TEMC as auditors. People can also apply to be an auditor, without having to submit application materials.
