The Australian National Choral Association is thrilled to bring the exceptional Dr Christopher Kiver to Australia in 2025. An acclaimed choral expert, Dr Kiver will tour Australia from 25 June to 27 July 2025, offering choirs and conductors the unique opportunity to work with this outstanding choral clinician through ANCA events and exclusive workshops!
Dr Kiver is a sought-after clinician, frequently guest-conducting and adjudicating in China, Australia, New Zealand, and across the USA for ACDA and NAfME. His expertise includes conducting and vocal pedagogy, changing voices, music ministry, programming, recruitment, score study, rehearsal methodology and choral advocacy. Currently a Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities at Pennsylvania State University, Dr Kiver is a double Grammy Award winner and a recipient of the World Choral Symposium Foundation Scholarship and the PSU President’s Award.
A graduate of the Universities of London, Michigan, and Florida State University, Dr Kiver studied with eminent conductors, including Blackstone, Eichenberger, Thomas, and Bernius. Before moving to the US, Dr Kiver worked in Brisbane, where those who had the pleasure of singing with him will be eager for a repeat of his dynamic, educative and engaging approach.
ANCA Chapters are now finalising their event offerings in your state or territory.
Christopher is looking forward to being immersed again in the Australian choral community and ANCA has crafted a range of exciting workshops, masterclasses and concerts for our members. Booking Links out in the March E-News or check your chapter's Facebook page.
