The Choral Conducting Symposium sponsored by the Choral Faculty at Texas State University and Conspirare is a unique opportunity for participants in the choral art to RENEW and REFINE their skills at the podium. Professional and non-professional choristers, graduate students, music educators, church musicians, and conductors from all aspects of the choral experience will gather for shared learning, renewal, and growth.
RENEW. One focus of the symposium is to help us re-center and re-focus from the myriad distractions that keep us from exploring creativity. A return to the inspirations that called us to this art. Interest sessions and daily activities during the Symposium are designed to reaffirm our calling and provide participants with skills.
REFINE. A second focus of the symposium is to provide participants with opportunities to refine their skills as a choral leader – including conducting gesture, rehearsal technique, repertoire selection, score study & preparation, and leadership development.
