Members of Children's Chorus of Maryland's Lyric and Concert Choirs will travel to Charleston, West Virginia to participate in a 4-day festival with other choirs from around the country.
ABOUT THE TOUR
This festival is a 4-day event that will immerse our choristers in the music and culture of the Appalachian Mountains. Folk music and culture is a cornerstone of the Kodaly method of music which CCM teaches, so this unique opportunity is a perfect fit with our curriculum and teaching methods. Choristers will also have the opportunity to work with the acclaimed Dr. Rollo Dilworth.
Dr. Rollo Dilworth is an active conductor, composer, educator and clinician who has taught choral music at the elementary, secondary and university levels. He is Vice Dean and Professor of Choral Music Education at Temple University's Center for the Performing and Cinematic Arts. His research interests are in African American music, music education curriculum/ instruction, social emotional learning, and social justice. Dr. Dilworth's compositions and arrangements can be found in the catalogs of Hal Leonard, Colla Voce, Santa Barbara, Walton and EC Schirmer.
“This festival is a “one of a kind” experience that will prove to be both musically and culturally enriching for all participants.” - Dr. Rollo Dilworth
