IFCM youth arts management Program
----------------------------------

Presented by the American Choral
Directors Association
August 15 – 31, 2016
Nassau, Bahamas

The world is full of musicians, therefore it is full of music events of many kinds: large, medium, and small scale. These events have many aspects that should be taken into account in order for them to be successful: production, staging, communications, PR, fundraising, finances, outreach, and many others. The International Federation for Choral Music (IFCM) and the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) have thoroughly designed a training program for young managers aged 18 to 30, who are motivated to learn and to develop their skills in international event management so they can go back to their home countries with the tools needed to organize choir and music festivals and events. More info and application form on america-cantat.org ( http://america-cantat.org ) or by email to mcprieto@gmail.com

Sir David Valentine Willcocks, organist, choirmaster and composer, has died at age 95. Sir David was an Englishman of unbounded energy and passion for all aspects of choral singing that touched and energized the international community; most significantly through his work with the Choir of King’s College Cambridge. His connection with King's College, Cambridge, began as an Organ Scholar in 1939; he was elected to a Fellowship in 1947 and subsequently held the post of Director of Music from 1957 to 1974. After leaving Cambridge, he was appointed music director emeritus, and became director of the Royal College of Music, a post he held until 1984. A friend, mentor, colleague and inspiration to many in the international choral community - Rest in Peace Sir David.
