Dr. Lynn M. Brinckmeyer, Director of Choral Music Education at Texas State University, served as National President for The National Association for Music Education (formerly MENC) in 2006-2008. She has published five books with Oxford University Press and Shawnee Press. At Texas State University, Dr. Brinckmeyer teaches courses in choral music education, and directs the Texas State Aurora Voce and the Hill Country Youth Chorus.
Canadian composer and educator Sarah Quartel is known for her fresh and exciting approach to choral music. Deeply inspired by the life-changing relationships that can occur while making choral music, Sarah writes in a way that connects singer to singer, ensemble to the conductor, and performer to audience. Her works are performed by choirs across the world, and she has been commissioned by groups, including the American Choral Directors Association, the National Children’s Chorus of the United States of America, and New Dublin Voices. Since 2018, she has been exclusively published by Oxford University Press, and she continues to work as a clinician and conductor at music education and choral events at home and abroad.
