Reply To: Contemporary music in the chorus classroom

Programming for your concerts should be the same as choosing your food; its important to keep a balanced diet! Doing an all-pop concert sounds like a lost opportunity to make connections between the musical and cultural elements of pop literature and classical or other choral literature. There is so much benefit in students discovering similarities between the music they listen to at home and the beautiful works musicians have studied for decades/centuries.
