As a guest artist/clinician, Joan Szymko brings infectious energy, enthusiasm and composer’s insight into shaping performances of her music. Working under the guidance of the composer is an invaluable opportunity for the choral singer. The qualities that distinguish Joan as a composer — an embodied approach to sound, a passion for mining the expressive depths of the text, a dedication to creating a visceral arc of discovery for singer and listener— are all rooted in overforty years of active choral conducting experience.

Festivals centered around Joan Szymko’s extensive repertoire have been hosted in the U.S. and abroad.  For more information about bringing Joan to work with your choral program, contact Joan directly.
