Music is personally and culturally rewarding for ULV educator
Alumna Irene Messoloras (MM ’06) is the University of La Verne’s new director of choral activities and vocal studies. She plans to “build a high-quality, powerful, meaningful vocal program for campus and community.”
Read the full article at the Daily Bulletin website."A family video of 3-year-old Irene Messoloras waving her tiny arms and “conducting” an imaginary choir prophetically predicted the personal passion and professional preference of the University of La Verne’s new choral activities and vocal studies director.
Neither the toddler nor her parents, Theresa and Makis Messoloras, suspected the adult Irene would make a significant splash in choral music and arts education.
On Dec. 6, Messoloras will conduct the ULV Chamber Singers and Chorale, ensembles she has re-built almost literally from scratch, in a program of favorite holiday songs in the Sundays at the Morgan concert series. The 6 p.m. concert in the university’s Morgan Auditorium is free to students of all ages. A donation of $20 is suggested for adults."— Imani Tate, Dec. 3
