Maestro
Alan Crabb, Artistic Director and co-founder of the Binghamton Downtown Singers, has led the group since its inception in 1983.
A gifted singer himself, he is well known in both local and national music circles. As a conductor, he is known for his ability to inspire the musicians under his baton to the highest levels of musical excellence, a fact repeatedly confirmed by the favorable responses of audiences and critics alike.
He has appeared with many of the major orchestras of North America, including those of Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, St. Louis, Denver, Seattle, San Antonio, New Jersey, and Vancouver, Canada, as well as in San Juan, Puerto Rico. A graduate of the Crane School of Music in Potsdam, New York, he has been a vocal and choral teacher in this area for many years. He has taught voice at Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, and Broome Community College, and was a guest lecturer with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra.
