PLAYING ON: Patia Maule, who has an undergraduate degree in ethnomusicology from Oberlin College, teaches a virtual music workshop in music in non-western traditions.
This spring, Oratorio Chorale a midcoast Maine-based choral community will continue holding music workshops in an entirely virtual format. While the Chorale traditionally holds these workshops in person, Artistic Director Emily Isaacson still sees the value in providing community members with opportunities to further or begin their education in music.
In 2015, after spending a decade in graduate school pursuing conducting and musicology, Isaacson was struck with the motivation to continue learning music, even after her extensive formal education.
