S5E02: "Anywhere else it would’ve been an ‘A’ - Collegiate singing at Swarthmore College
Today we’re continuing our series of episodes focused on ensembles. This episode’s conversation is with Dr. Joseph Gregorio, the director of choirs at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. It’s a very interesting conversation covering the operations of choirs at a well-established educational institution, a somewhat different perspective than the independent choruses we often discuss.
