Hello Southern Arts Chorale,

I hope you all are continuing to stay warm and safe during this winter storm.

Unfortunately, we will be canceling tomorrow evening’s Southern Arts Chorale rehearsal due to the ongoing weather conditions and the University of Tennessee Southern’s announcement to utilize Fully Remote Operations tomorrow, January 26th.

Looking forward, please continue to monitor your email for additional updates and possible “at-home” rehearsal resources.

Please stay safe, I appreciate your flexibility and understanding. See you all on February 2nd for our next rehearsal.

Thanks,
Prof. Sherman

Happy New Year! We are delighted to welcome our newest music professor, Prof. Samuel Sherman to the UT Southern Fine Arts Program! Prof. Sherman (soon to be Dr.) will be stepping into the Director of Choral Activities and Assistant Professor of Music position previously held by Dr. Andrew Martin. We are sad to see Dr. Martin go, but we are excited to welcome Prof. Sherman.

A little about Prof. Sherman:

Samuel Sherman is a Doctor of Musical Arts candidate in Choral Conducting at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami. He served as a graduate teaching assistant for the Choral Department and as Assistant Conductor of the Master Chorale of South Florida.

He holds a Master of Music in Conducting from the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver, where he served as Assistant Conductor of the Lamont Chorale, Voces Aureus, and Voces Fortes; taught conducting; and was a finalist in the Lamont Chamber Music Competition. He earned his Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Northern Colorado, where he was named Vocal Student of the Year and received the Research Excellence Award for his honors thesis, The Voice of Androgyny.

Sherman has worked internationally, earning third place in the International Conducting Institute Competition with the Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic Orchestra and conducting in the Sarteano Choral Workshop. His doctoral research focuses on Christopher Tin’s The Lost Birds, integrating formal musical analysis with ecomusicological inquiry to develop a first of its kind conductor’s guide.
