Innovative programming, dynamic rehearsal, and collaborative partnership are at the heart of Caron’s conducting practice. She maintains an energetic presence in the local and regional arts community, guest-conducting festival choirs across the region and country. In 2024, she served as guest Music Director for the Back Bay Chorale in Boston, MA, and established a new professional choral ensemble in Pittsburgh, the Archipelago Vocal Ensemble.
Caron maintains an active interdisciplinary research agenda exploring the applications of embodied learning to choral conducting, vocal pedagogy, and performing arts medicine. Her recent collaborations Speech Language Pathology, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Therapy, has resulted in national conference presentations and publications in The Choral Scholar, Journal of Singing, and International Journal of Research in Choral Singing. She is a contributing author to Teaching Music through Performance in Choirs Vols. 4 and 5, The Choral Conductor’s Companion, Music by Women Choral Composers (forthcoming), and The Oxford Handbook of Musician Health Advocacy (forthcoming).
