Honorary Artistic President INTERKULTUR<br />
Dear Participants in the Sing’n‘Joy<br />
<strong>Princeton</strong> Choral Festival,<br />
I am delighted and thrilled to join you at<br />
this fabulous gathering of conductors and<br />
singers in <strong>Princeton</strong>! Twenty choirs from<br />
four nations with more that 800 singers<br />
will take part! The Artistic Committee includes<br />
choral luminaries from Europe as<br />
well as Westminster Choral College's Joe<br />
Miller with whom I have concertized over<br />
the years.<br />
Last November I attended the INTERKULTUR<br />
choral festival in Monterey, California and<br />
experienced outstanding singing by choirs<br />
from the United States and Europe in a wide<br />
variety of choral genres. It was so heartening<br />
for me to hear such choral excellence.<br />
I look forward to seeing you all in <strong>Princeton</strong><br />
and awarding the special Lauridsen Prize to<br />
the conductor of the outstanding choir.<br />
