Are your singers reaching their full potential? Can incorporating kinesthetics—movement—in rehearsal make a real difference in the way your chorus sings? MassACDA 2016 Summer Conference headliner clinician Dr. John Dickson (Louisiana State University) thinks so, using a Kinesthetic Approach to achieve “an intensely energized, vital, and buoyant” choral tone. Come experience his methods as you sing Corigliano and Bach with the Conference Chorus. One rehearsal—without chairs—is even scheduled in a large Dance Studio! Located on the beautiful campus of Smith College, Northampton, a compact schedule, July 17-20, introduces many other exciting and provocative topics. There’s an opening night Evensong presented by the choirs (adults and child choristers) from Trinity Church Boston, interactive lectures by Josephine Lee (Artistic Director, Chicago Children’s Choir), inspiring and very practical reading and interest sessions led by MassACDA experts, over 50 pieces of recommended repertory for choirs at all levels, and opportunities to network with professional colleagues from throughout the Northeast. Free PDPs and affordable grad credit are available via UMassAmherst. Time is running out, so get moving, register now at
