Nazareth University Choirs

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 🎶

Tis the [concert] season! Join us this week for Chamber Singers (Thurs), Treble Choir (Sun), and Chorale (next Mon, 11/17).

Yesterday, we welcomed three high school choirs to campus for our annual Day of Voice- a day filled with vocal and choral clinics, campus tours, and performances. Congratulations to the students and directors from East Irondequoit, Gates-Chili, and Webster Thomas!

While we are still in the height of the summer, we look forward to welcoming returning and new singers to Nazareth Choirs this fall!

In the meantime, enjoy a little from last semester.
