Conducting Opportunity
We are offering a limited number of choral symposium participants the opportunity to conduct assigned Messiah movements, conducting the Master Chorale of Tampa Bay for the afternoon public Masterclass with Doreen Rao and Michael Francis.

Those who register for the choral symposium and wish to be considered as a master class conductor should apply for a conducting position by sending a copy of your curriculum vitae along with your full name, address, contact info, and professional association (school, choir, orchestra, church, etc.) to the Chorale's Managing Director, Kara Dwyer, at kara@masterchorale.com. An additional $50 fee will be required upon approval of your participation as a master class conductor.
