2025 Online Conclave Registration
For those who are unable to attend Conclave in person, we offer a way to take part in some of the activities and festivities from afar.
Online attendees may enroll in one or both of our Hybrid Classes. These will be taught as regular Conclave classes, but will also be accessible to registrants on Zoom, where they will be able to play along on mute and benefit from the teacher’s instruction. The final period will offer a live-streamed class for all, at no extra charge.
The two available classes will take place during 2nd and 3rd periods in hopes to make them most readily accessible to members across the country:
Second Period (11:00 - 12:15 EDT: Monday through Friday)
Teacher: Patty Halverson
Title: Delightful on Viols
Level: UI - all sizes
Description: Dance suites in 4, 5, and 6 parts by Valentin Haussman and Johann Schein, including suites from Schein’s delightful collection, Banchetto Musicale.
Third Period (2:00 - 3:15 EDT: M, T, Th, F and 9:00 - 10:30: Saturday)
Teacher: Martha McGaughey
Title: Spacious Firmament
Level: UI - all sizes
Description: J.S. Bach, one of the brightest stars in the musical firmament, provided a wealth of chorales which can be a starting point to discuss musical issues, using text to inform performance, and how to lead an ensemble. Two Bach chorales a day, in various clefs, with doubling.
Free live-streamed class:
Fourth Period (3:45 - 5:00 EDT: M, T, Th, F and 11:00 - 12:15: Saturday)

Title: A Lively Shape of Dauncing
Level: ALL - no instruments necessary
Description: Discover the beauties of the dance of court and country from the height of the Renaissance to the Baroque and beyond. Learn characteristic step sequences, rhythms, and forms, as we explore pavans, galliards, bourrées, minuets, country dances, and cotillons, while also considering their social meaning and context. Learn to move with energy and elegance or join in accompanying the movement.
