Episode 34: Growing the Choral Community with Jen Rogers & John K. Russell
The San Diego Master Chorale knows how to bring people together. They understand that a group of human voices singing together is one of the few things capable of uniting completely different people in perfect harmony. In our season three finale of Bach Talk, we’re sharing a conversation recorded live at the 2025 Chorus America Conference. The Bach Society of Saint Louis’ Danielle Feinstein and Scott MacDonald sat down with Executive Director Jen Rogers and Music Director John K. Russell to talk about building community through song. Jen and John share the “secret sauce” behind the 130-voice ensemble’s recent massive growth and the day-to-day realities of running an arts organization. Tune in for a great conversation about the benefits of music-making and why we should all be singing a little more.
