• The Midwest Region Conference will feature headline performances by the professional vocal ensemble Kaleidoscope, a showcase of varied ensembles from Nebraska, and a performance of John Rutter’s Gloria on the 50^th anniversary of its 1974 world premiere in Omaha.
• Additionally, the conference highlights:
  • 15 of the top choirs from across the region
  • 25 engaging interest and reading sessions
  • 4 honor choirs
• In addition, this conference will host the R3 Choirs, a reference to the conference theme: Reflect, Rejuvenate, Rejoice. These choirs will engage you, the conference goer, in performance! Three of our region’s finest conductors—Aimee Beckmann-Collier, Ann Howard Jones, and Tom Trenney—will lead the entire conference in rehearsals culminating in a gala performance: a chance for all of us to engage with, rather than simply listen to, great choral music with master conductors during the conference. 
  • Aimee Beckmann-Collier’s R3 Choir will perform choral gems of the modern era
  • Ann Howard Jones’s R3 Choir will present masterwork choruses
  • Tom Trenney’s R3 Choir will focus on sacred choral repertoire.
