Last week our combined treble ‘Fairy Chorus’ wrapped up a terrific concert series with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and Ballet Arkansas to perform Felix Mendelssohn’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Rich in friendship, artistry, teaching, and food. Thanks for a great week @lindsaysummerspope! by @ryanw.sullivan

This past Tuesday at the World Symposium on Choral Music @wscm2026 in Macau, China, I presented a session entitled “Reimagining Conductor Health” focused on health and wellness from an occupational lens. It sparked dozens of conversations the rest of the week with conductors who want to protect their workplace health. This topic is ripe for growth and some of that dialogue is already continuing in Australia, India, Scotland, Germany, and elsewhere.

The International Federation for Choral Music @ifcmofficial put on a truly wonderful conference where I learned from conductors, scholars, policy makers and business leaders, and heard some truly remarkable choirs. Thanks to all who organized and worked to make this happen! I am so fortunate to get to do what I do.

What a great time in Montréal at @isme_musiced_1953! It’s a privilege to be part of a truly global event with a wide range of views and practices in music education. Thanks to my research colleague, Caron Daley, for prompting this. À bientôt! by @ryanw.sullivan

A long time coming and the full expression of the Asamkirche did not disappoint.
