Conference Schedule

The following outline is tentative and subject to change as workshops and spaces are scheduled. Items in green typeface indicate joint offerings with the Lutheran Summer Music (LSM) community. Items in red typeface indicate conference Bach choir rehearsals. In addition to four 45-minute workshop sessions, four 90-minute in-depth learning sessions are provided on various topics with the aim of providing a deeper dive into honing skills and knowledge for serving and leading the church’s song. Plenary (conference-wide) sessions will focus on practical skills as well as a number of choral reading sessions. The fourth and final plenary session on Thursday will be a time to debrief, share with one another about what you are pondering anew, and to suggest possibilities for future conferences.

Exhibit Hours

Exhibits are located in the Harre Union ballroom (second floor), which also serves as the primary meeting place.
