FESTIVAL FACULTY

Dr. Amanda Quist is Associate Professor and Chair of the Conducting, Organ, and Sacred Music Department at Westminster Choir College. She conducts the Westminster Chapel Choir and Westminster Kantorei, and teaches graduate and undergraduate conducting. She is the recipient of Westminster Choir College of Rider University’s 2014 Distinguished Teaching Award. Westminster Kantorei, an award-winning early music ensemble, has performed at the American Choral Directors Association’s (ACDA) Eastern Division Conference and the American Handel Festival, and the group released its first commercial recording in fall 2017. Kantorei performed at the Boston Early Music Festival this summer and completed an international performance tour of England and France last summer. During her work with the Westminster Symphonic Choir, Dr. Quist collaborated with the New York Philharmonic, The Philadelphia Orchestra, Dresden Staatskapelle, and composers Ola Gjeilo and Tarik O’Regan. She recently served as Chorus Master for the premiere of Toshio Hosokawa’s opera Matsukaze at the Spoleto Festival USA and the Lincoln Center Festival. The New York Times and Charleston City Paper described the chorus’ performance as “beautifully prepared, gripping,” a “gossamer web of voices,” and “bridging the vocal and instrumental textures with perfect intonation.”

Dr. Quist is also director of the Westminster Vocal Institute, a highly regarded summer program for talented high school students, and she was previously Director of Choral Activities at San José State University. Her other honors include the prestigious James Mulholland National Choral Award and the Audrey Davidson Early Music Award. Her research focus is voice science and pedagogy in choral singing, and she recently presented an interest session for the National ACDA Conference in Salt Lake City titled “Building Sound and Spirit.” An active guest conductor and clinician, her recent and upcoming appearances include the All State High School Honor Choirs of Texas, California, Tennessee, Vermont, Georgia, and Delaware. Dr. Quist serves as the National ACDA Repertoire & Resources Coordinator for Collegiate Activities.

Kathryn Lehmann joined the voice faculty at University of Puget Sound in 2008. She is a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University and has taught public school vocal music at the elementary and secondary levels in the Clover Park and Puyallup school districts in Washington. As a public school educator, she directed performing groups at music educator conventions at the state and regional levels in the Pacific Northwest, gaining a reputation for her expertise in developing the voice in a choral setting. After earning a Master of Music degree in voice performance and pedagogy, Ms. Lehmann taught for three years on the voice faculty at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, where she served as vocal coach for the American Boychoir School and developed a training program for young singers at Westminster Conservatory of Music. During her doctoral studies at University of Colorado in Boulder she studied choral conducting with Joan Catoni Conlon and Lawrence Kaptein. Ms. Lehmann came to Washington following 11 years in Oregon as director

of vocal and choral activities at Oregon State University, conducting the OSU Chamber Choir, Madrigal Singers, and Opera Workshop. From 2001–2007 she was the director of choral activities at Pacific Lutheran University. PLU’s Choir of the West performed at the National ACDA Convention in Los Angeles under Ms. Lehmann’s direction.

Steven Zopfi is Director of Choral Activities and Professor of Music at the University of Puget Sound where he oversees four choirs, teaches conducting and applied voice, and conducts the award-winning Adelphian Concert Choir. Prior to his appointment at Puget Sound, he served on the faculties of Penn State University, the University of Washington, and Pacific Lutheran University. Choirs under his direction have been invited to sing at the local and regional conventions of the American Choral Director’s Association, the National Association for Music Education, the Society of Composers, Inc., the Colorado Early Music Society, and other professional organizations.

A native of New Jersey, Zopfi has a bachelor’s degree in music education from the Hartt School of Music, a master’s degree in conducting from the University of California, Irvine, and a doctorate degree in choral conducting from the University of Colorado. He taught in public schools in Vermont and New York, where he also served as Vermont State President of the American Choral Directors Association and an executive board member of the Vermont Music Educators Association. Since coming to the Pacific Northwest in 2001 he has continued to remain active in professional organizations, serving as Chair of Collegiate Activities for WA ACDA and NW ACDA. He is in constant demand as a conductor, adjudicator, and clinician. In 2015 he was named the Outstanding Choral Conductor of the year by WA ACDA.

Dr. Zopfi currently serves as the Artistic Director and Conductor of the Portland Symphonic Choir, the official chorus of the Oregon Symphony Orchestra. Zopfi led the Oregon Symphony in performances of Mozart’s “Mass in C Minor,” Stravinsky’s “Symphony of Psalms,” and music by Beethoven, Bach, and Wagner. Critics have hailed his work as “magical” and “superb.” Zopfi has prepared choruses for Carlos Kalmar, Bernard Labadie, Alastair Willis, Murray Sidlin, Jean Marie Zeitouni, and Peter Schickele. As a singer, he has sung for many leading conductors including Robert Shaw and Sir David Wilcocks. He has performed with the Prague Philharmonic, the Colorado Symphony, the New Jersey Symphony, and the Pazardzhik Symphony, and is the founder and past Artistic Director of the Foundling Hospital Singers, the Boulder Schola Cantorum, the Grace Chamber Orchestra, and The Portland Sinfonietta.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC VOCAL PERFORMING GROUPS

Adelphian Concert ChoirFounded in 1932, the Adelphian Concert Choir is one of the signature groups of the university and is recognized as one of the Northwest’s most acclaimed ensembles. For more than 80 years this auditioned choir has sustained a level of choral excellence that has brought accolades from audiences in Canada, in Europe, and on the West Coast. It has appeared at the state, regional, and national conventions of both the American Choral Directors Association and the Music Educators National Conference. The Adelphians consistently receive the highest acclaim for standards in repertoire, interpretation, and musicianship.

Dorian SingersDorian Singers, conducted by Kathryn Lehmann, is an auditioned, all-female chamber choir of 32 members. Now in its second decade, it is widely recognized throughout the Pacific Northwest as one of the region’s leading women’s ensembles. Members of Dorian Singers are strongly committed to learning choral music through a combined understanding of vocal technique, sound production, and ensemble mastery. They represent a wide range of class years and majors at Puget Sound, and are engaged in numerous activities both on and off campus, including serving as hosts of the annual Northwest High School Women’s Choral Festival. In 2010 Dorian Singers was featured at the Society of Composers regional conference, and in March 2012, the group made its first appearance at the Northwest American Choral Directors Association convention.

Voci D’amiciThis a cappella 16-voice ensemble performs in holiday concerts every December. Its repertoire ranges from the Renaissance to the 21st century.

ChoraleOpen to the entire campus community, Chorale is a non-auditioned mixed ensemble that meets twice weekly. Through repertoire drawn from a multiplicity of style periods and genres, including world choral music, members establish a musical foundation of vocal technique, music theory, and sight singing.
