LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Welcome to our Annual Choral Festival Concert. As we begin the second half of the school year, I continue to be grateful to be surrounded by such amazingly hard-working students at Mater Dei. With every performance, I see growth and a passion for their craft as they cultivate it into beautiful music. We are grateful for our hard-working staff including our Associate Director, Ms. Amanda Bistolfo who so wonderfully teaches and prepares Cabaletta, Concert Choir, Handbells, and helps us keep things organized and on-track; Mr. Kent Helwig, our amazing collaborative artist who makes us better on every level; and Mr. Stefan Miller, our Vocal Conservatory Director who, while performing from afar on tour, still makes time to help our Mater Dei Vocal Conservatory run smoothly. Thank you also to our Vocal Conservatory staff who every week give our students lessons and vocal training to prepare them for auditions and masterclasses, and give them the tools to accomplish their immediate and future goals. We are deeply indebted to our Choir Parent Coordinators, Mrs. Lisa DeLong and Mrs. Christine Ludovico, for their service and coordination which helps us provide extraordinary experiences for our students. We are also grateful for our Mater Dei Administration and the unending support and advocacy of our Performing Arts Executive Director Mr. Scott Melvin and Department Assistant Mrs. Marisa Winch (’96). My family and I are grateful to have found a home at Mater Dei where the arts are so valued and generously supported by both the school community and the MD families. Mater Dei truly is a peerless and inspiring place where students can grow, thrive, and succeed.
Thank you for your support of our fantastic students. We hope you enjoy the performance! Jodi Reed
