Today marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of Westminster Choir College in Dayton Ohio. Wwfm.org will be featuring the recording made to commemorate this important anniversary in American choral music this afternoon!

So excited about this website where conductors and educators can come and be exposed to latest research and approaches to rehearsal. Also will be a fantastic " bookshelf" section where all 65 publications will be in one location for perusal and ordering! thechoralacademy.com

A beautiful obituary for my friend James Whitbourn. A full musical life that ended too early..theguardian.com/music/2024/mar…

Yesterday, the world lost a great musical voice and I lost one of my best friends and Westminster choir college lost its most devoted friend. We are privileged to perform his Requiem in Carnegie Hall completed by @johnmrutter ❤️rider.edu/about/events/w…

So proud of the Westminster Symphonic Choir's performance of Carmina Burana with The Orchestra of St Luke's and incredible cast of soloists and Maestro Munoz. Sold out says it all as do the standing ovations! We are so deeply grateful.. @philorch @nezetseguin

Last evening the Westminster Symphonic Choir returned to Carnegie Hall to sing Carmina Burana to a sold out house. I could not be more proud of our school and its remarkable singers and bravo to @grecchinois, @YingFangSoprano and Norman Garrett for their incredible artistry ❤️

We are so proud @WCCNJ to release this 2 CD set of our Readings and Carols! This uniquely Westminster tradition has been quite the journey these 30 years. What a privilege to have begun it with colleague Kathy Shaw! Look for its release in late fall 💿 on all Major platforms.

This is the only place I will be teaching this summer🥲😱🤯 please consider studying in this incredible program! sacredmusicproject.org/conducting-ins…
