Lux at Chesapeake High School!

1/21/2020

Last Friday, we spent the day meeting and working with the wonderfully talented choral program at Chesapeake High School, in Pasadena, MD! Throughout the day we ran sectionals and masterclasses with Cheseapeake's Chamber Singers and Concert Choir, and we were also able to give an informal concert and Q&A at the end of the day! We were so impressed with their talent and the hard work they put in during rehearsals, and it was such a joy to sing for them and talk about all aspects of choral music with them! Not only did the kids at Chesapeake High enjoy our work together, but our singers had so much fun inspiring the next generation of young choral singers and getting to meet the wonderful students at Chesapeake! Check out some of our work together below.

Congratulations to Austin Nikirk who finished up the first portion of her Kolbe Fellowship at Gettysburg College last week. Over the Summer, she was housed at the college to conduct research on the art song of one of the first American female composers to be performed by major ensembles, Amy Beach. During that time, she met with her mentor, Dr. William O'Hara, on a weekly basis, working together to formulate a plan for her research. Last week, after months of in-depth harmonic, formal, and poetic analyses of seven of Beach's art songs, and even a trip to the University of New Hampshire's library to study Beach's original scores, Austin presented on her topic in culmination of the first part of her research. She plans to continue researching leading up to a lecture-recital she plans to give in the Spring of 2019.

Congratulations to music educators Eby Buscher and Robby Napoli! Over the past weekend, they participated in the Adams County Arts Council’s Music Day with other members of the Sunderman Conservatory’s Music Education program. This program was designed to get children in the surrounding area excited about learning a new instrument. Eby and Robby had a great time teaching kids about the tubano and djembe together!
