Dr. Leann Conley-Holcom to Direct at Carnegie Hall; Choral Singers Invited to Participate

How do you get to Carnegie Hall?

Practice. Practice. Practice. Or.... simply register to sing with Dr. Leann Conley-Holcom, SU Director of Choral Activities, in a five-day choral residency next year! Dr. Conley-Holcom has been invited by MidAmerica Productions to appear as guest conductor on the historic Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall on Memorial Day 2024, leading the New England Symphonic Ensemble and singers from across the country in Taylor Scott Davis’ Magnificat. This piece was recently premiered and recorded by the acclaimed Voces8. It's a stunning and very accessible piece of music—preview all five movements here.

Passionate choral singers are invited to participate, including SU faculty, staff, alumni and students. You will need to be able to learn the music on your own (practice tracks will be provided) and pay for the residency and travel. Participants will stay in a beautiful hotel within walking distance of Central Park and Times Square, enjoy social time together including a post-concert cruise around New York Harbor, and have a truly unforgettable musical experience on a historic stage. Interested? Contact Dr. Conley-Holcom at conleyholcol@seattleu.edu about the Oct. 1 registration deadline and more information.
