Conference with yesterday's truly delightful afternoon ~ a journey through 19th-20th century American theater music and history~teaching another group of FANTASTIC (!) grad students at the Boston Conservatory :-D

Jim and Maggi will lead an exploration of several kinds of American and Celtic folk-hymnody and stylistically-appropriate ways to present them.

You must be registered for the Convention to attend our performance/workshop; however, you should check out the schedule of events for the public performances, they will be very special!
