Looking for music this fall? Perhaps it’s time to live into the storyteller you really are and build a concert structure based on telling that story. Not quite sure what we mean by that? Josh Pedde, Artistic Director of the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, is a storytelling genius! His ideas for new ways to structure concerts and weave music into an entire experience for both singers and audience really helps you analyze your why and present the most engaging and impactful concert experience. In a time where we have to all be advocates for our programs, this episode helps you unpack your “why” and select the best music to share that story.
