Description


Thirteen conducting participants will be chosen and assigned one piece to learn and conduct under Dr. William Payn's tutelage. Conducting participants and ringer-observers will form the choir that each conductor will lead. The event concludes with a final showcase concert where each conducting student will present their piece for an audience. An application is required to be considered as a conducting participant, including a recent (within the last 12 months) video of the candidate conducting, and information about the candidate's music education and handbell experience. Conducting applications are due by March 16, 2023
RINGER-OBSERVER
If you are not quite ready to step to the podium, you have the opportunity to participate as a ringer-observer, where you will ring for the student conductors and watch Dr. Payn work first-hand. Ringer-observers do not need to submit an application - simply proceed to registration. Ringer-observer registration closes June 1, 2023.
