Celebrate the Successes, Forgive the Shortcomings

Immediately.

I love the philosophy and practice of avoiding focusing on mistakes immediately following a performance.

Until you’ve really considered and chosen how you want to perform, your performances can’t possibly reflect your musical intentions.

Practicing performing is an important part of practicing the music.

What do you want your ensemble to remember as you approach their first concert of the year?

For a performer, what’s the difference between a vocal jazz performance and a traditional choral one?

The best performances are an integrated combination of polished and casual.

We don’t do the concert because we’re ready. We do it because it’s concert day.
