About the Conductor and Repertoire
The Chorale is conducted by Francisco Ortiz, Adjunct Professor of Music in the Department of Music and Performing Arts and a Dominican alumnus. Francisco Ortiz earned a B.A. in Music from Dominican in 2006, where he studied percussion with Ken Crawford and choral/orchestral conducting & voice with Dr. Craig Singleton. In 2008, he received his Master of Music in Music Education degree from Holy Names University where he studied conducting with Judit Hartyányi, Professor at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. He chooses each semester’s repertoire to include works by classical masters, as well as more contemporary composers that can speak to issues of our times.
