For those who live in the Utah County area, there is a free workshop for choir directors on Feb. 21st. I have personally worked/studied with both Dr. Cook and Dr. Eggett, and they are fantastic. (Dr. Eggett and I created the Missionary Medley for General Conference last fall.) See info below. Free Workshop Offered for Choir Directors and Accompanists The Utah Valley Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will present Sing! Choirs of Angels, a free, half-day workshop for church choir directors and accompanists, with special guest presenters Dr. Don Cook and Dr. Ryan Eggett. The event will provide instruction, demonstration, and ideas on the finer points of directing and accompanying church choirs. The Utah Valley Childrens Choir will also perform at the workshop. Cook was recently nominated to the national council of the American Guild of Organists, overseeing educational concerns. He is an associate professor of organ at Brigham Young University, where he serves as organ area coordinator and university carillonneur and oversees the group organ program. Eggett is director of the Utah Valley Childrens Choir, Provo MTC Choir, Latter-day Celebration Choir, and the Lex De Azevedo Millennium Choral Society. He also serves on faculty at the Orem Institute of Religion. The Utah Valley Childrens Choir has toured Great Britain, the eastern and western United States, and parts of Canada and Mexico. The choir has made 12 professional recordings. Eggett and Cook, along with Suanne Bowcut, the choirs co-conductor and administrator, will present a live rehearsal/demonstration with the 180-voice choir. The workshop will be held Saturday, February 21, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the LDS chapel at 735 East 800 South in Orem. There are two meetinghouses, each with two chapels, which share the same parking lot at this location. The workshop will be held in the south buildings north chapel. See the attached flier.
