  • About Me Dr. David Fryling is associate professor of music and director of choral studies at Hofstra University, where he oversees the choral department, conducts the select Hofstra Chorale and Hofstra Chamber Choir, and teaches beginning and advanced studies in choral conducting, as well as graduate-level workshops in choral conducting and choral literature. Dr. Fryling is also an adjunct professor in the Hofstra School of Education, where he supervises choral music education student teachers during their field placement. In addition to these teaching and conducting responsibilities, he has served for many years as a Repertoire & Standards chair and a member of conference planning boards at both the state and divisional levels for the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA); he currently serves as president-elect for the Eastern Division.

    During the summers, Dr. Fryling is choral area coordinator at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan, serving as conductor and music director of the World Youth Honors Choir, as well as the Festival Choir & Orchestra. These two groups form the core of the high school choral experience at this intensive six-week arts camp, which attracts more than 2,000 high school-aged visual and performing artists from around the world to the woods of northern Michigan every summer to live, learn and perform with an unparalleled group of peers and educators. Major works conducted over the past seven summers include Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem, Orff’s Carmina Burana, Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem and Nänie, Duruflé’s Requiem, Poulenc’s Gloria, Pärt's Credo, and Mozart’s "Coronation" Mass in C.

    Before beginning his post 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.

    An engaging and energetic guest conductor, clinician and adjudicator of professional, community, and public school choirs, Dr. Fryling’s recent engagements include numerous all-state, regional, district, and county honor choir festivals, master classes, and workshops in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Michigan, Louisiana, Texas, Utah and Alaska. He has been music director and conductor of recent Hofstra Opera Theater productions of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, Tchaikovsky’s Iolanthe, and Poulenc’s Dialogues Des Carmelites, and has served as chorus master of numerous opera productions both at Hofstra and at the University of Michigan. In addition to his activities as a conductor, he maintains a career as a professional choral singer in the greater New York metropolitan area.

This smallest and most select of the Hofstra choirs comprises the best singers at the University, both within and outside the Department of Music, and focuses on the distinct art of unaccompanied, or a cappella, ensemble singing, presented in carefully chosen performance spaces that are uniquely attuned to celebrate the human voice's potential. From an educational standpoint, the ensemble serves two main functions for the University. First, it acts as a laboratory for Hofstra’s future music educators, both undergraduate and graduate, providing outlets for the exploration of the art of ensemble preparation through the study of the highest-quality choral literature. Second, it provides all qualified students with the experience of singing in a professional-level ensemble (as well as the associated "real-world" responsibilities of the ...    less
