Logan Phillips--Sarteano Italy Choral Workshop With his SURF grant, Logan Phillips was able to attend and participate in the 2024 Sarteano Italy Choral Workshop. Attending this workshop made it possible for Logan to observe a variety of renowned choral conductors from around the world, to participate in ensemble rehearsals, and to attend daily faculty-led building sessions to guide and improve his overall singing ability and vocal technique. In addition, attending this workshop gave Logan the opportunity to present his scholarly and creative activity as a solo and ensemble singer on an international stage. In his presentation, Logan will discuss this life-changing opportunity.

Shot on a 16mm Bolex camera with color and black and white film, Mariah used in-camera effects, such as multiple exposures and a matte box.
