Orthodox choir directors and church singers, you are warmly invited to join us at St. Tikhon’s Monastery November 8-10 for our choral conducting and singing workshop with our featured instructor, Fr. Caleb Lewis, Director of Music at St. Tikhon’s.
Come participate in this weekend workshop as either a conductor or as a chorister. Conductors of all levels are welcome! You can expect practical conducting guidance, live feedback, individualized coaching on technique and hands-on problem solving. Singers will enjoy gleaning from being part of the choir and participating in overall ensemble instruction. Student rates are available for both conductors and singers.
Q & A will be offered throughout the weekend to allow you to glean from Fr. Caleb’s expertise on both choral conducting and singing. The workshop will culminate with attendees participating in the music for St. Tikhon’s Monastery’s Sunday Divine Liturgy.
Prior to coming to St. Tikhon’s Fr. Caleb Lewis was Director of Choirs at UC Davis. He worked throughout the San Francisco Bay Area as a conductor, clinician, baritone soloist, and chorister with such ensembles as the American Bach Soloists, the San Francisco Choral Artists, and the San Francisco Bach Choir. Fr. Caleb is St. Tikhon’s new director of music. He serves as faculty for music residents, as well as lead music educator for seminarians, preparing future church musicians and priests who can beautify the worship of the Orthodox Church.
