11th ANNIVERSARY

The Brookhaven Choral Festival is open to all, ages 16 and over. No audition
is required, only the desire to sing great music in a collegial setting.
In addition to the Festival Chorus, participants can enroll in a variety of courses
for personal and professional enrichment. A special Youth Choir
will allow the entire family to get involved.

Musical Director - Martin Rutishauser
Festival Music Director and Conductor Martin Rutishauser's first three years

Collegiate School in New York. He is the Artistic Director and Conductor of the
Ibex Chamber Orchestra. Martin studied at the Hochschule fur Musik in Freiburg,
Germany; at Brown and Columbia Universities and counts noted conductors Joseph
Rosenstock, Sir Edward Downes, Chrarles Bruck and Vincent La Selva among his

the standard repertoire and has collaborated with notable soloists, including
pianists Vladimir Feltsman and Lorin Hollander, cellist Matt Haimovits, lead
singers from the Metropolitan Opera and other prominent opera houses.
