Report on Conducting Workshop
The 3rd Annual Washington DC Stake Conducting Workshop at the Washington DC Stake Center on October 13, 2018, drew the largest attendance in its 3-year history. 40 attendees participated in the parallel track, 4-class room workshop for music conductors of all levels and for beginning accompanists. This year, we were delighted that our newest instructor, Trevor Fanning, joined the workshop faculty, consisting of Melinda Baird, Rebecca Green, Helen Horton, and David Hardin.
At 9:30am, the opening exercises began featured President Kim Golightly, 1st Counselor in the Washington DC Stake Presidency, who reminded us of and taught us the importance of music in our lives as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This year, 3 classes (Awake and Arise! No more mindless singing; Dealing with Challenges in the Hymns; Make Ward Choir Rehearsal the High Point of Singers’ Week) were taught both hours. The other two classes (Accompanying ABC's; Conducting 101) were taught for one hour each. Afterwards, we enjoyed a very sumptuous lunch while networking with fellow conductors.
Statistics from the workshop are given in the Report on the 3rd Annual Washington DC Stake Conducting Workshop.
We thank each of the attendees for coming to the workshop, some who drove over 4 hours to attend the workshop. We are grateful to the instructors for their time and preparation and efforts in teaching the students. Finally, we thank the Washington DC Stake Presidency for their support and encouragement in holding this workshop. We look forward to the next Conducting Workshop.

Announcement for Interfaith Concert
The Interfaith Concert for the World Interfaith Harmony Week will be held at 7pm at the Washington DC Visitor Center. The Mormon Choir of Greater Washington, among other community choirs, will be performing that evening. Please join us for an inspiring musical evening.
On September 23rd 2010, HM King Abdullah II of Jordan introduced a resolution to establish a World Interfaith Harmony Week at the Plenary Session of the 65th UN General Assembly in New York. This resolution was adopted by the UN on October 20, 2010, and the first week of February, every year, has been declared a UN World Interfaith Harmony Week. The World Interfaith Harmony Week seeks to spread the message of harmony and tolerance among the followers of all the world’s religions, faiths and beliefs. It seeks to do this by promoting their common basis of “Love of God and Love of the Neighbor, or Love of the Good and Love of the Neighbor.” Its message invites everyone, excludes no one, and is purely voluntary.
