Norman Scribner, who died two months ago, founded the Washington Choral Arts Society in 1965 and conducted it until 2012.  Steven Honigberg, cellist in the National Symphony Orchestra, has produced a documentary tribute.

Scribner is especially perceptive about his fellow-conductors.

    This was delightful. Thank you for posting. I enjoyed the fruits of Scribner’s efforts for years and am sorry he’s not still with us.
