Guest conductor

Picture
Dr. Sandra Snow is a conductor, pedagogue, and scholar, widely acknowledged as one who brings singers of all ages and abilities to artful performance through an understanding of the music and its context in the world around them. As Professor of Choral Conducting and Music Education at the Michigan State University College of Music, the MSU Women’s Chamber Ensemble has appeared as featured performers at American Choral Directors Association conventions at state, regional, and national levels. As a guest conductor, she travels extensively in North America and abroad.

In 2017, Snow created mirabai, a project-based professional women’s chorus. mirabai features alumna associated with the MSU Women’s Chamber Ensemble. mirabai was a featured ensemble at the Texas Choral Director’s Association conference in 2018. The inaugural recording, Ecstatic Songs, was released in 2018. mirabai will open the 2020 conference of the Southwest Division of the American Choral Director’s Association.

Snow is the Artistic Director of the CME Institute for Choral Teacher Education, produced annually at MSU. Snow is author of the DVD Conducting-Teaching: Real World Strategies for Success (GIA, 2009), a resource for conductor-teachers at all levels of teaching, and she edits the choral music series In High Voice, published by Boosey & Hawkes. Snow is a recipient of the Michigan State University William J. Beal Award for Outstanding Faculty, the MSU Teacher-Scholar Award, and the Dortha J. and John D. Withrow Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Recommend singers

Conductors and teachers from across the province are encouraged to recommend their strongest singers for an audition. An audition form should be completed by each singer, which is uploaded with your recommendation.

Apply for an audition

Choristers may also independently apply for an AYC audition. Note that choristers who are recommended by their conductor/teacher do not need to submit an audition application.
The deadline to recommend singers/apply for an audition has passed. Recommendations/applications will reopen during the spring of 2020.
