concert for each other, teachers, and families. This will be held at our Central location at Moreland

A brand new festival for Chamber groups titled EchoChamberPDX, held at Lewis and Clark. This all-day
festival includes a masterclass in preparation for Ensemble Festival with Dr Fitzgibbon, Dr Cox, Jimmy Brown,
Katey Simmons, and myself. Start prepping your groups with one chamber piece to be workshopped, and your
singers will learn a second song from like-voice professionals on the day so they are READY for your district’s
Ensemble Festival, often around the last weekend of February! Email me if you want to be on my
