You Asked Me to Speak
Recital in partial fulfillment of a
D.M.A. in Choral Conducting
Hello Singers!
​
HERE you will find performance recordings, rehearsal recordings, and PDFs for each of our concert pieces. First, here are the details for our performance day on Friday, December 8th:
​
CONCERT ATTIRE:
This is both a formal concert and a concert about personal expression. Everyone needs to be in dress black from waist to toe. Both short/long skirts and pants are fine, but the legs and toes need to be covered in black. On the top, I invite you to wear a color or black with an accent of color. Please avoid white and light pastels. No large or obvious prints/patterns. No t-shirts, jeans, sportswear, or sneakers.
​
LOCATION AND TRANSPORTATION:
7400 Woodlawn Ave NE is a former church space in Green Lake. Parking there is limited and so we want to strongly encourage public transportation. Bus options go to within a block and a half of the building. Click here for a directions page that you can use yourself and pass along to friends and family.
​
NOTE: This location is further than normal from the University. Please allow plenty of transportation time on the day of the concert!

CALL TIMES:
5:15 p.m. Cohort Ensemble
