Nosotres Existimos: Mexican Choral Repertoire and Resources
Session Description
The goal of Nosotres Existimos is inclusion and belonging for the choral conductor’s students and community through programming. This session’s information on Mexican repertoire and resources, through handouts and websites, will connect our growing Chicano/a/e student population to this large body of music. By the end, attendees will have more insight on Mexican choral music history, know where to find Mexican and indigenous repertoire, and have access to resources to lead culturally responsive performances. Using this session’s offerings, participants can generate deeper belonging amongst their students and community, share unheard voices, and continue to build community through music.
