Installment No. 7

"As we look at society, as it becomes darker and darker, the church and the music have to be the light." 

~ Dr. André Thomas

Meet our Tune-Up Clinicians!

Dr. André Thomas & Dr. Brandon Boyd

In this delightful conversation, our 2025 Choral Tune-Up clinicians Dr. André Thomas and Brandon Boyd discuss how growing up in the Black church shaped their understanding and approach to music as conductors and composers.

They also reflect on the importance of mentors who've helped them throughout their careers, and how they now seek to provide that mentorship for others. 

Keep Your Lamps
