The Memorial Day Conductors’ & Singers’ Workshop will be held at St. Tikhon’s Monastery, in Waymart, PA, from Friday, May 26 thru Monday, May 29, 2017. Arrival is the morning of Friday, May 26 and departure starting mid-day on Monday, May 29. This will be an expanded program of conductors and singers working independently and in tandem with Maestro Peter Jermihov and other faculty culminating in singing at the hierarchical services celebrated by Metropolitan Tikhon and Archbishop Michael.

The Conductors’ and Singers’ Workshop gives the aspiring musician-whether just starting out or with more moderate skills-a chance to grow as a singer or choir director! 

Maestro Dr. Peter Jermihov-a highly respected and renowned conductor, teacher and specialist in Orthodox liturgical singing-will lead a team of outstanding faculty members.

– Conductors will learn the craft of conducting and acquire manual techniques, musicianship and vocal skills, knowledge of liturgical  rubrics & organizational and people skills. 

– Singers will learn the art of choral singing and acquire solid vocal techniques: proper breathing, purity of vowels, good resonance and beauty of tone.

All participants will receive personal attention and feedback, and most importantly aspiring church musicians will reinforce their experiential knowledge of singing and conducting in Church to the Glory of God with mind, heart and deep commitment to prayer.
