May 2006 | Our new Executive Director: Melanie Smith
Please welcome our new Executive Director Melanie Smith. Melanie comes from San Francisco Performances, where she served as Director of Education and Artistic Administration for 8 years. Previously, Melanie was Executive Director of The Midori Foundation in New York City. She has also held management positions with Young Concert Artists and Carnegie Hall.

“Vocal music has been a great love throughout my life,” said Melanie. “Choral music is the art form with which I am most intimately and emotionally connected. My many years of experience working with young people in arts education programs has prepared me for this exciting challenge of working with a choral organization of the caliber of the San Francisco Girls Chorus.
