In Rehearsal with Kenneth Tay

What does the choral "canon" mean for today's ensembles, and how might we move beyond it responsibly? This interactive workshop invites conductors to explore different approaches to repertoire through rehearsal demonstrations, singing, and improvisation. Participants will gain practical strategies for introducing new sound worlds, helping singers learn unfamiliar scores more efficiently, and engaging with accessible contemporary works. The session also reflects on the role of the conductor as composer and arranger, and considers how commissioning (even on a modest scale) can shape the future of choral music.
