Women Choral Conductors of Color & Clinicians Your Need to Know (Northeast Area)
Compiled by: Libby Gopal, Dr. Lynnel Joy Jenkins, Dr. John Wilson
The following list of choral conductors and clinicians was born out of a need to make it easier to find,
contact and schedule exemplary women of color with the hope of promoting gender and racial equity. With the
help of Dr. Lynnel Joy Jenkins and Dr. John Wilson, we compiled a list of conductors who can enrich, inspire
and coach festival ensembles, adjudicate events and professional development sessions. A special thanks goes
to Dr. Janet Galván for creating the resource that inspired the name of our compilation that focuses on women
choral conductors of color in the northeastern United States. If there are women in your choral community you
would like to empower and promote by including them in this resource, please reach out to me at
