The Choirmasters’ Conference
Instituted in 1973 by esteemed former Director of Music Gerre Hancock, the annual Conference for Choirmasters and Organists provides participants with a distinctive three-day grounding in the Saint Thomas music schedule. Participants have the exclusive opportunity to tour the Saint Thomas Choir School, observe open rehearsals with Jeremy Filsell and the Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys, perform on the Miller-Scott Organ, and attend the daily round of services. Each year, an internationally-recognized organist and choirmaster serves as guest clinician, presenting a keynote lecture and providing mentorship through choral direction, leadership at the organ, and informal social interaction. Previous guest clinicians have included, Edward Higginbottom, Stephen Cleobury, Martin Baker, and Stephen Darlington, among others.
