WALL OF SOUND: With the choral singers standing 12 feet apart, the job of Emily Ha 21 as conductor becomes even more challenging, as well as more crucial.
Since the beginning of the spring 2021 semester, Emily Ha ’21 has been pursuing a senior honors project in choral conducting an effort that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, has required far more planning, research and distance between singers than it would have in a more normal semester.
As a music and English double major, Ha has had a multitude of musical involvements at the College, including jobs at the Beckwith Music Library and as a concert usher. One of her most notable commitments and one that has been unable to continue since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was the Bowdoin Chamber Choir, for which she was both a singer and a choir assistant.
