In Her Voice: Women in Musical Leadership
Session Abstract: How do we create a space for women of all levels in the profession of choral music to connect and look forward, together? Choral conductors and composers share a variety of experiences, but each has their own story. These stories deepen our perspective and understanding. A panel of women representing various backgrounds and teaching levels will explore:
- 1) ways in which we can support conductors and composers who identify as women
- 2) past experiences of people who were marginalized due to gender identity
- 3) ways to move forward, strengthening a support system among participants for women in choral music
