Lydia Adams is undoubtedly one of Canada’s most distinguished conductors. She has been Conductor and Artistic Director of the Amadeus Choir of Greater Toronto since 1984 and of the Elmer Iseler Singers since 1998. Dr. Adams possesses extraordinary musicianship and a true passion for the choral art form: her expertise, unique approach and dedication make her a vibrant and inspiring musical force. This workshop will perform with the Tasmanian Discovery Orchestra in a special concert. Some experience with sheet music would be beneficial.

Adult Major Workshops are accredited units (12.5%) within the Diploma of Music Performance degree offered through the University of Tasmania’s Conservatorium of Music, one of our major Festival partners. HECS scholarships are offered to all participants, and therefore no HECS fees are charged for these units. Music and listening material will be sent to participant’s pre the commencement of the workshop, as well as additional reading that directly impacts the music to be performed. (International Students are not eligible for HECs or course fee subsidy and full fees apply). The partnership between the Festival of Voices and the Conservatorium of Music maintains the high quality of International Artists working with participants throughout the festival giving community choir members of many abilities a truly inspiring and challenging experience.

All major workshop participants must enroll with the Conservatorium of Music (UTAS), international students are exempted. Staff will be available at registration to assist with the paperwork.
