Lean In & Engage
Student Learning
“The Conservatory Choir is preparing a wide variety of repertoire for this concert. We are singing both historical and modern repertoire, in a variety of styles. The concert takes us through various themes common to the universal human experience: specifically, the spiritual; darkness into light, or finding hope in adversity; and love.”
– Richard W. Robbins, director
From the Conductor
“It has been fantastic to learn about our singers and to explore different styles with them. As a conductor, I believe ensembles have a certain personality or spirit, and connecting with that is a wonderful part of my process.”
– Richard W. Robbins, director
For the Audience
“We are singing some pieces that are well-loved by our singers and by audiences, including exciting pieces by contemporary composers BE Boykin and Rosephanye Powell, alongside historical repertoire including the brilliant Trois Chansons de Charles d’Orléans by Claude Debussy and Johannes Brahms’ most celebrated partsong, Im Herbst.”
– Richard W. Robbins, director
