Choral Conductors Seminar set for August 10-23 in Edmonton

EDMONTON - The 22nd Choral Conductors Seminar organized by the Ukrainian Music Society of Alberta will be held in Edmonton on August 10-23 at St. John's Institute.

These seminars have been one of the projects of the society for the past 19 years, and it is a pleasure to note that there has been a constant interest in them among choir directors from the United States and all of Canada.

Of particular interest for last year's participants was the theme "Working with Children's and Youth Choruses," as well as the analysis of a newly composed liturgy by Valery Kikta. This year the subject of children's and youth choruses will be dealt with in greater depth, and there will be an analysis of a composition of the liturgy by Denys Sichynsky.

Other subjects will include: conducting a church choir; lectures on several aspects of choral conducting; the specifics of choral groups; and listening to different genres of Ukrainian music.

As in other years, there will be individual and group lessons in conducting and 10 choral compositions to learn. For further information please contact: Orysia Olijnyk, Ukrainian Choral Conductors Seminar, 11728 97th St., Edmonton, Alberta T5G 1Y2; telephone, (403) 474- 9774, (403) 457-5136.
