Program Overview

During the 3-day In Harmony: Enhanced Residency + Concert Performance in the vibrant "Big Apple," you will be treated to a rich tapestry of musical, cultural, and socially rewarding experiences. Here's what awaits:

• Collaborative Sessions: Merge voices and share techniques with other participating choir directors, cultivating a sense of unity and shared purpose during 3 separate massed choir rehearsals with your Principal Conductors.

• Mentorship by the Masters: Beyond rehearsals, dive deep with our Teaching Artists for a highly educational Choral Conducting Symposium offering a unique opportunity to elevate your personal performance and conducting skills.

• Information Exchanges: Engage in the beneficial exchange of ideas and experiences with other choir directors during the Best Practices Forum, fostering an environment of mutual learning and appreciation.

• Discover New York City: You'll also have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the cultural and culinary delights of "the city that never sleeps," weaving sightseeing, culinary, and musical inspiration into a seamless experience.  You can do this on your own, or with friends... or join our optional Full Land Only Tour Package and let us curate your entire NYC experience (and meet even more friends).

• Grand Finale Performance in Carnegie Hall: The spotlight awaits you as part of the world's first ever All Choir Director's Chorus (aka, AC/DC) in stunning Carnegie Hall in a magnificent concert let by your Principal Conductors, Jason Max Ferdinand and Rollo Dilworth.. and culminating in a world-premiere, all choir finale by our amazing Composer-in-Residence, Coty Raven Morris.
  

• Celebrate with your Peers: After the concert, gather with other participating choral directors for exclusive entry into the AC/DC Celebration Lounge + Dessert Buffet to revel in the performance and the spirit of friendship fostered over the past several days in NYC!

With a blend of unparalleled performance opportunities, transformative educational sessions, city adventures, and inspiring collaborations, this one-of-a-kind program will offer a crescendo of inspiration and learning specifically calibrated for today's choir directors.  An event truly not to be missed!

Hotel Included (Options 2 & 3 above):

Park Central Hotel (this is where you'll stay)

Located diagonally across the street from Carnegie Hall (and just a stone's throw from both Times Square and Central Park), the lead designer of the Park Central Hotel's renovation found inspiration with its location at the epicenter of New York City.  Throughout this storied hotel, you will notice design touches that pay subtle homage to the lushness of Central Park, to the importance of music in the "city that never sleeps," and to NYC's renowned cultural venues found within a 3-block radius.  The project was such a personal one that Jeffrey Beers, of Jeffrey Beers International, called it "A Love Letter to New York City," and it shows!
