Brian Tate Workshop and Concert

Vancouver's Brian Tate is the founding conductor of the Universal Gospel Choir, a jazz vocalist, and a composer with dozens of publications to his name in both gospel and world-music genres.  In this Calgary workshop, Brian taught participants a variety of his brand-new gospel and world-music pieces, and all by rote --- no sheet music, which means that singers were treated to a fun workout for their musical ears and a great opportunity to look up and sing!

Vancouver's Brian Tate is the founding conductor of the Universal Gospel Choir, a jazz vocalist, and a composer with dozens of publications to his name in both gospel and world-music genres.  In this Calgary workshop, Brian taught participants a variety of his brand-new gospel and world-music pieces, and all by rote --- no sheet music, which means that singers were treated to a fun workout for their musical ears and a great opportunity to look up and sing from the first note!

Attendees at past Brian Tate workshops are effusive in their praise for a clinician who is dynamic, encouraging, and brilliant in his ability to get a roomful of people to make some great music together.  This event was co-sponsored by Vocal Latitudes world-music choir and UUphonia, the choir of the Unitarian Church of Calgary.
