Our 85th Season 2020 - 2021
Continuing to Grow Musically                                                           

Although we are unable to sing in concert at this time, NSCS continues to work together, holding virtual rehearsals until we are able to sing in person again. In fact, we are embarking on a time of substantive growth as individuals and as an organization. This fall we’ll focus on developing our voices with the guidance of our Music Director, Dr. Julia Davids, co-author of the book “Vocal Technique: A Guide to Classical and Contemporary Styles for Conductors, Teachers, and Singers” (2nd edition newly published in May of 2020.) In demand as a workshop leader throughout North America, Julia will unpack practical singing topics such as resonance, vowels, vibrato, range development and others.

In addition, we’ll be learning about the history and development of Black choral music in America with these special guest facilitators:
