Over the last two days, Nazareth University School of Music welcomed Moira Smiley for clinics and masterclasses with our choirs, and our music education, music therapy, and music composition students. Her work in folk music and song traditions is so inspiring!

What a beautiful start to the semester! On Saturday, the Nazareth Chamber Singers, under the direction of Dr. Eric Rubinstein, participated in a masterclass and performance celebrating the life and music of acclaimed composer, Adolphus Hailstork. This event, organized by Dr. Lee Wright, also brought together the choirs of First Inversion, Downtown Presbyterian Chancel Choir, East Rochester HS, and the Eastman Chorale 🎶

In recent weeks, the Nazareth Choral Program welcomed two guests to campus-
⭐️ Judith Ranaletta, retired Show Choir director from Greece-Athena High School, joined our Choral Techniques class to discuss vocal cross-training in popular and musical theatre styles.
⭐️ Garrett Breeze, composer/arranger, Zoomed-in with Chamber Singers to discuss his journey as a composer, and offer feedback on the choir's interpretation of his arrangement of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

It's a great time to be a Golden Flyer- especially one that sings!
