The Masterclass Program

THE MASTERCLASS PROGRAM


As part of its academic curriculum, the Curley choral program offers to all choristers a masterclass, usually held in the spring of each academic year.  The masterclass brings a world-class choral conductor to the Curley campus to spend two days intensive work with our choirs.  Traditionally, a mini-concert is presented for the masterclass clinician to assess, and this assessment is followed by sessions stressing choral pedagogy and musical interpretation.  Exposing our young choristers to the tutelage of world-renowned musicians is an experience our choristers will remember for the rest of their lives.  Past MasterClass clinicians have included Mr. Stephen Cleobury, Dr. Gerre Hancock and Dr. Leo C. Nestor.   
The 2011 Masterclass took place on March 18-19 with Sir Philip Ledger.
