All Around Classical is a conversation series born out of our unique experience during the pandemic in 2020. I have absolutely fascinating and incredibly talented friends. As we feel isolated and disconnected, it was a treat to have conversations with these friends and share these good times with the world. The series started as an Instagram Live, then it moved to Facebook (it still is on Facebook. Please see the information at the end). My guest list has expanded from my friends and colleagues to other established artists to share their journey and feature their work.

I am excited to release this interview with Dr. Donald Brinegar, Choral Conductor, Tenor Soloist, Voice Instructor, Master Class Clinician, and Author of multiple books, including "Pitch Perfect: A Theory and Practice of Choral Intonation."

With an extensive background as a performer both as a soloist and a conductor internationally, he is genuinely a "Singer's Conductor." I sang at the Carnegie Hall with Dr. Brinegar's Chamber Singers when I was only 18 years old. It was an extraordinary experience for a young person.

In 1997, he founded The Brinegar Singers, a choral ensemble, later became the resident chorus for Pasadena Symphony and POPS. The Singers have given premiere performances of the music of Bruce Babcock, Neely Bruce, David Childs, Emma Lou Diemer, Morten Lauridsen, Z.Randall Stroope, and Eric Whitacre among many others.

Chapter List: 0:00 Opening (Cloudburst by Eric Whitacre, Performed by The Brinegar Singers, Conducted by Dr. Donald Brinegar)

8:20 The Career: Started by teaching in secondary schools, then moved into. college/university teaching. The advancement demanded more education and degrees. Burning out and getting out of it. The key to success is to go where the success is, and never stop learning. Be the best musician you can be and the rest will follow.

24:26 The Next Chapter: Becoming a writer during retirement.

27:53 Approaching repertoire and styles.

31:03 O Magnum Mysterium by Morten Lauridsen. Performed by The Brinegar Singers, Conducted by Dr. Donald Brinegar.
