Inspired by enthusiastic Sing! alumni, the Conducting Master Class is a great opportunity for college music majors to support each other in an encouraging, outside the classroom, learning environment.

A lab choir composed of an ensemble of St. Charles Singers and the participating college students offers you a place to practice conducting, and to get professional and peer feedback. Sign up early if you hope to take a turn conducting the choir under the tutelage of Jeff Hunt.
