Our conductor! For the 2011 / 2012 season the Sängerbund was able to engage Eric B. Miller for the position of conductor. Maestro Miller has extensive experience in the field of choral music with a deep knowledge of German repertoire. He studied voice, piano, organ and choral conducting at Peabody Conservatory, American University and Westminster Choir College. His doctoral studies at UMBC include Ethnomusicology. He retired as Music Department Chair from the Baltimore County school system. He is also conductor of the Arion Gesangverein in Baltimore, and Director of Music at St.John’s United Church in Catonsville, Md. We are looking forward to some joyful concerts under his direction with selections of songs from classics and folklore. In June 2012 the Washington Sängerbund is going to participate in the 51st triennial Concert of the Nordöstlicher Sängerbund of America in Allentown, Pa. The festivities stretch over the weekend June 1 to June 3 with a concert on Saturday at the Allentown Symphony Hall.
