International Choral Festival

Japan
March 8, 2019 4:33pm CST
I will have spent four out of the last seven days at other international schools, working with young musicians. This week we call "March Music Madness" because the international schools team together, their choirs perform for each other and with each other (600 singers), and honor groups rehearse and perform. It's a great way for excellent musicians from all the schools to meet each other and make great music. What would you think would be the best thing and hardest thing about running these events? What opportunities have you had to work with people in your area of expertise that you normally don't get to see?

This sounds like a very hard job.

Not hard as much as tiring! By the way, one of my dear friends at another school who plays piano for their choir is Serbian!

We did, and tonight is our last concert with Honor Choir and all the small select ensembles from the different schools. Should be good.

I really don't do anything even remotely like this, I really don't have any expertise. Well okay I did give the tours of the church and cemetery last year since I am a history buff and I love genealogy but I usually share more one on one.

My dad was a history teacher and would have loved to go on your church and cemetery tour! He was always hunting out interesting old churches and cemeteries and took lots of cool pictures! I'm going to be volunteering at Sakurajima Volcano Visitors Center this summer as an English-speaking guide since I'm a geology and volcano buff!
