Chairperson: David Hodgkins

Recipient of Chorus America’s 2012 ASCAP/Alice Parker Award, conductor David Hodgkins is the Artistic Director of Coro Allegro in Boston, which Boston Globe critic Michael Manning deemed "one of Boston's most accomplished choruses". He is also Artistic Director of The New England Classical Singers in Andover, Director of Music at The Commonwealth School in Boston, teaches advanced conducting at the New England Conservatory of Music through the Kodaly Music Institute, and is a frequent guest conductor, adjudicator and clinician.
With Coro Allegro, he has released two critically acclaimed compact discs entitled “In the Clearing” and “somewhere i have never traveled”. Upcoming releases with Coro include “Awakenings” in June 2012, which features Shofar by Robert Stern and Why I Wake Early by Ronald Perera, and a CD comprised entirely of works by Patricia Van Ness in October 2012. Both will be released on the Navona label.
Mr. Hodgkins received his BM in voice, piano and harpsichord from the University of Massachusetts, an MM in choral conducting from Temple University in Philadelphia, and Fellowships in choral and orchestral conducting at both the Aspen and Sandpoint Music Festivals. dhodgkins@commschool.org
