Lynne Morrow became Music Director of the Oakland Symphony Chorus in
2005. During her tenure, the scope of the chorus has expanded to include
contemporary, international and neglected works along with traditional
choral repertoire. She conducts the Chorus’ workshop performances of
major works and a Spring Messiah,
hosts summer choral outreach “Sing-Ins” and prepares the chorus for
work with Oakland East Bay Symphony as well as regional community and
youth orchestras with which Oakland Symphony Chorus collaborates, such
as the Oakland Symphony Youth Orchestra, Young People’s Symphony
Orchestra and California Symphony.
Lynne Morrow received a Grammy nomination for her work with the
Pacific Mozart Ensemble, with whom she has also recorded two CD’s of
Dave Brubeck’s choral music. Since 2001, she has directed the Voice and
Opera/Music Theatre Programs at Sonoma State University. Morrow also
gives lectures for the regional San Francisco Opera Guilds, most
recently on the premiere of “Dolores Claiborne.” Dr. Morrow strives for a
visceral connection to music, presenting works from every corner of the
musical arts in fresh ways, to reach the widest possible audiences.
