NDSU Music welcomed composer/conductor Dale Warland as an artist-in-residence, Jan. 9-11.

Warland spent the residency working with students in both group and individual settings. He critiqued the NDSU Concert Choir and Madrigal Singers, met individually with graduate students to discuss their academic and career plans and led a student convocation.

Warland founded the Dale Warland Singers, a vocal ensemble known for its exquisite sound, technical finesse and stylistic range. Warland has received several honors, including the Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia’s Individual Leadership in Choral Music Award, Champion of New Music Award from the American Composers Forum and the prestigious American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers Victor Herbert Award. He received a Grammy nomination for best choral performance and received honorary doctorates from the University of Minnesota and Macalester College.

Warland’s work as a conductor has allowed him to work with choirs throughout the world, including the Swedish Radio Choir, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Opus 7 Vocal Ensemble, Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia and Israel’s Cameran Singers.
