Save the date!
GALA Choruses Leadership Symposium is set for February, 14–16, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Sahara Hotel.

GALA’s Leadership Symposium offers an opportunity for leaders of GALA member choruses to meet one another, attend workshops, network, learn about ways to engage with schools in your community, and to pick up resources for building successful choruses. We’ll share our success stories, learn from our collective mistakes, and have a great time in a beautiful location! It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet peers, and we’ll have special intensive workshops for new GALA chorus ADs, new chorus board members, and chorus managers.  

In addition to a full slate of workshops and seminars, there will be plenty of open-agenda time to discuss the particular issues with which your chorus might be struggling.  We’ll have round-table discussions, one-on-one consultations with GALA 411 Advisors, and social gatherings.

GALA’s Artistic Directors will have the opportunity to work with guest conductor, Dr. Elizabeth Scahuer. Dr. Schauer serves as Director of Choral Activities at the University of Arizona where she is recognized for her innovative and inclusive curricular approach to academia and choral settings. Dr. Schauer is also bringing her award-winning University of Arizona Symphonic Choir and will lead a series of Master Classes; GALA conductors will have a chance to conduct the Symphonic Choir. Dr. Schauer will also lead a workshop on community building and programming between academic choirs and community choruses.

On Friday evening, February 14, the University of Arizona Symphonic Choir will partner with the Las Vegas Men’s Chorus for a performance!
