"How can choral music respond meaningfully to the issues of our time? This interactive session led by composers Eric Tuan and John Muehleisen explores the power of socially relevant repertoire to inspire reflection, empathy, and action. Join composers, conductors, and community collaborators as we discuss why this work matters, highlight impactful pieces, and share best practices for partnering with writers and communities to create authentic, resonant music. Attendees will come away with repertoire ideas, practical tools, and new perspectives on how choirs can be catalysts for change."
