The 2020 Southern Region Treble Choir Director

David Fryling is director of choral activities at Hofstra University, where he conducts both the select Hofstra Chorale and Hofstra Chamber Choir and teaches beginning and advanced studies in choral conducting, as well as graduate-level studies in choral conducting and choral literature. In addition, he serves as an adjunct professor for the Hofstra School of Education, where he supervises choral music education student teachers during their field placements. In fall 2014 David was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame as the “Educator of Note” in recognition of his years of leadership in the Long Island music education community, and in the spring of 2017 David was named the winner of The American Prize in Conducting in two categories: community chorus and college & university. An energetic and engaging conductor, clinician, and adjudicator of professional, community, and high school choirs, David’s recent invitations include various all-state and regional honor choirs, master classes, workshops, and adjudications throughout New York and in New Jersey (All-State), Vermont (New England Music Festival), Connecticut, Rhode Island (All-State), Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina (All-State), Mississippi, Michigan, Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas, Utah and Alaska (All-State). He has also been music director and conductor of Hofstra Opera Theater productions of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, Chaikovsky’s Iolanta, and Poulenc’s Dialogues Des Carmelites, and has served since 2014 as a guest artist on the conducting faculty of the New York State Summer School of the Arts (NYSSSA) School of Choral Studies in Fredonia, NY. In the fall of 2013 David founded the eVoco Voice Collective, a non-profit organization of singers of the highest musical, technical, and expressive abilities, who together believe in the transformative and educational power of music. Passionate advocates for excellence in the vocal art, eVoco presents choral performances and recitals of the highest caliber throughout the year. The group’s two main ensembles, the Mixed Ensemble and the Women’s Ensemble, have an “open door” policy for all rehearsals. Teachers and students of music, especially, are encouraged to “sit in” on rehearsals in the hope that they will serve as a continual learning space for students, educators, and music enthusiasts alike. For seven summers, Dr. Fryling served as Coordinator of the Vocal Artists program at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan, where he was conductor and music director of the World Youth Honors Choir and Festival Choir & Orchestra. These two choirs formed the core of the high school choral experience at this intensive six-week arts camp, and under his direction they performed such large-scale works as Brahms’ Nänie, Pärt’s Credo, Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem, Orff’s Carmina Burana, Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem, Gershwin’s An American in Paris, Duruflé’s Requiem, Poulenc’s Gloria, and Mozart’s “Coronation” Mass in C. Before his appointment at Hofstra, Dr. Fryling served as music director and conductor of the University of Michigan Arts Chorale and assistant conductor of the Michigan Chamber Singers, University Choir, and the internationally acclaimed Michigan Men’s Glee Club. While in Ann Arbor, he was also the music director and conductor of the Michigan Youth Women’s Chorus, a year-round all-state honors choir composed of select high school sopranos and altos from across Michigan.

In addition to his professional teaching and conducting responsibilities, David has served the American Choral Directors Association for many years, and is currently Vice President of the Eastern Division. When not on the podium, he enjoys freelancing as a professional choral tenor in the greater New York metropolitan area.

The 2020 Southern Region High School Mixed Choir Director

Carolina Flores grew up in Zaragoza, Spain, a city with a long history of musical traditions. There she learned how to play the organ and also attended the Superior Conservatory of Music obtaining a degree in piano pedagogy. She was fortunate to have had the opportunity to sing with a choir lead by a remarkable conductor, who influenced her life in many ways, although she would only realize the extent many, many years later. Dr. Flores continued her piano pedagogy studies at the Royal Superior Conservatory of Music in Madrid, and after that, moved to New York City, where she earned her Bachelor and Master degrees in piano performance at the Manhattan School of Music. During those years in the city, she obtained jobs as organist and choir director at several churches. After graduation, she continued performing solo recitals and chamber music, teaching, and directing church choirs. Dr. Flores enjoyed working with choirs so much that it made her reconsider her career, leading to her decision to pursue a doctorate in choral conducting at the Hartt School. She has served in many capacities at the Connecticut chapter of the American Choral Directors Association (CT-ACDA) including as president from 2013 to 2015, and has lead choral tours in Italy, Spain, Austria, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

Currently, Dr. Flores is a Professor of Music at Manchester Community College, CT, where she teaches a wide variety of courses in the nationally accredited music program. In addition to this position at MCC, she is the Director of Music and Choirmaster at St. Theresa R.C. Church in Trumbull, CT, and a frequent lecturer, adjudicator, and clinician. Before teaching at MCC, she taught at The Hartt School, University of Rhode Island, and Notre Dame High School (West Haven). Dr. Flores was awarded the 2015 Excellence of Teaching Award at MCC and the national 2016 NISOD Excellence in Teaching Award.

In addition, Vincent owns the Quiet Corner Music Studio in Ashford, CT and is a senior staff member at Laurel Music Camp, a one-week summer music camp held in New Hartford, CT each June.
