ALAIN, of Paris, France, one of

of single-line melody, and the infinite possibilities for their extension through
choral improvisation. Ms. Parker will also present a workshop entitled Choral
Reading of "Hymns and Spirituals," offering her unique insights into
melodies, structure and performance possibilities of new arrangements of music
