Please join these two exceptionally innovative artists/ensemble and project directors, as we discuss the evolution of choral and vocal music through an interdisciplinary lens, coupled with media to propel innovation and creativity.

Carmen-Helena Téllez

Venezuelan-American conductor and scholar Carmen-Helena Téllez has been called “a quiet force behind contemporary music in the United States today” by the NewYork-based journal Sequenza21. A multifaceted artist, she takes a co-creative approach to new music performance, devoting special attention to vocal-instrumental and staged genres, involving interdisciplinary media and musical scholarship, in an approach that The Washington Post has called “immersing and thrilling.” Téllez is professor of conducting at the University of Notre Dame.

He is also the newly appointed artistic director of the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, beginning in July.
