Encore University’s expansive Masterclass series continues with our fourth installment: an Encore Creativity exclusive Masterclass with Sarah Quartel, composer of All The Way Home!
Sarah Quartel, known for her fresh and exciting works in the world of choral compositions, brings the composer’s touch to the Zoom classroom. We have been honored to have Sarah Quartel’s piece, All The Way Home, as a part of the Encore Chorale repertoire this spring.
On April 26, Sarah Quartel will join us for an exclusive Encore University Masterclass. This We Know: How Can We Keep From Singing when music unites audiences and singers alike? And how do composers create works that inspire audiences As You Sing?
In this 90-minute Masterclass, Sarah Quartel will bring her experience as a composer for a conversation specifically for Encore Creativity for Older Adults. Join Sarah for a spirited conversation on:
- her muse, the inspiration behind her pieces, and channeling inspiration into song
- the process of writing and composing choral music for different ensembles
- how choral music connects composers with conductors, conductors with singers, and singers with audiences
This informative session will end with a live Q&A session, where Sarah will answer any questions you may have.
| DATE AND TIME | Wednesday, April 26, 7:30 PM ET – 9:00 PM ET |
| PRICE | $15 per person |
