Music Conference Alberta


Welcome!

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Delegates, stakeholders, and friends,

This year's provincial music conference will be unlike any before. Music Conference Alberta Online offers 19 valuable sessions in four streams — band, choir, classroom, and studio — between January and April 2021. We invite musicians and music educators from across the province to participate!

Given the many challenges musicians and music educators are facing in these COVID times, the Music Conference Alberta Joint Planning Committee identified accessibility and affordability as top priorities. For that reason, delegates can register for a single stream for $60, 2 streams for $100, or the entire conference for $150. That works out to less than $8 per session.

We also wanted to contribute as little as possible to the Zoom fatigue that many of us are feeling. For that reason, we elected to offer conference sessions/webinars over a period of 4 months. If you're not able to attend the livestream presentation, most sessions will be recorded and available 30 days later. This offers some flexibility to delegates and ensures they are able to benefit from the wide variety of conference offerings.

Even in these uncertain times, you — Alberta's musicians and music educators — continue to inspire your students and ensemble members. I believe strongly that those who inspire also need inspiration, and it is my hope that Music Conference Alberta Online will serve as that inspirational resource for many of you.

This year's presenting partners have assembled an exciting roster of sessions including Band Reimagined: Having certain plans for uncertain times (Brian Balmages), a session presented by composer Ola Gjeilo on his choral music, Decolonizing the Music Room (Brandi Waller-Pace and Syreeta Neal), and two unique sessions on Baroque dance for studio teachers (Philippa Waite). We're also pleased to host American opera singer and vocal pedagogue Molly Noori, to share her experience of having had COVID-19 and the impacts it has had on her physically, mentally, emotionally, and professionally.

The first session is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Jan 16. I encourage you to register for the conference soon, and I look forward to seeing many of you at sessions between January and June!
​
​Sincerely,​
