Los Alamos Choral Society is pleased to have secured Dr. Mary Lynn Badarak as music director. Mary is both artistic and engaging, and elicits the best sound from each singer. Working with Mary is a delight. Her mastery of choral direction and presentation, her program development, and her experience with concert and tour administration bring new excitement to members in Los Alamos Choral Society. Dr. Badarak received her doctorate in music theory from Northwestern University, with excellent credentials in choral composition, publishing and conducting. Dr Badarak has conducted musical groups from bell choirs to brass ensembles to conducting full symphony orchestra and chorus productions. Dr. Badarak is active in the local and national music community with an impressive list of guild and society memberships and numerous publications, performances and awards. The artistic director of Santa Fe Music Works, Mary has planned and directed workshops in musical masterworks and has twice prepared choral groups from northern New Mexico to perform at Carnegie Hall under the direction of internationally known composer and conductor John Rutter. Mary is an active composer of contemporary choral and chamber music; she has produced a concert of her new music, The Red Earth Project. Dr. Badarak will lead us expertly through selections of beautiful music and into a new era for the Los Alamos Choral Society. We meet at the United Church of Los Alamos, 2525 Canyon Road on Tuesdays at 7:00-9:00 p.m. Anyone who loves to sing and enjoys working on great music is cordially invited to join us, no audition required. We will perform a concert of beautiful selections entitled,”The Splendor of Chorus and Brass" for our Spring concert at IHM Catholic Church on June 1st, 2008 at 3:00 pm. |
