AUSTIN, Texas - Aug. 26, 2020 - Panoramic Voices announced today the recent addition of four new Directors to their Board. They join an already impressive board roster that brings extensive expertise in Music, Law, Marketing, Communications, and Business. The new Directors are:
Joseph Choi, Ph.D — Professor of Piano at Concordia University and entrepreneur
Sarah Cook — Soprano in the choir and Director of Marketing for Caringo, Inc.
Elda Garcia — Experienced Music Educator, past Artistic Director for Young Voices of Austin
Jim Nasby — Bass in the choir and Senior Database Engineer for Amazon Web Services
"We are excited about the skills and enthusiasm these four outstanding people bring to our mission," said Bonnie Lockhart, Panoramic Voices' Chairperson of the Board. "Our current focus is to expand marketing, increase outreach, and broaden programming to include more underserved groups. We strive to have a truly panoramic community that represents Austin-area music lovers in all walks and phases of life."
Artistic Director Brent Baldwin—an award-winning conductor, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, arranger and composer—is currently reworking Panoramic Voices' previously planned 2020–2021 season. The work will refocus the organization's performances into a series of online arts experiences. Mr. Baldwin said, "I look forward to sharing more details with you in the coming weeks, but you can count on unexpected collaborations, brand new works by up-and-coming composers, the launch of a new concert sub-series, and all the adventurousness that is Panoramic Voices."
