Bronwyn

Music Director

Since joining the staff in 2008, Bron has cultivated her reputation as a musical catalyst, enabling music lovers of all ages and skill levels to pursue their passion. As a composer, teacher, music director, and mentor, she has forged an energetic and inclusive program that includes choral and ensemble music, children's music, and handbells. From September to June, Bron directs our non-audition chancel choir of singers and instrumentalists. Our adult bell choir performs primarily in the fall and young children are invited to perform with our rainbow bells.

A native of Australia, Bron brought her passion for music to West Seattle in 1987. Since then, she has co-written and directed the musical, "Age Only Matters If You're Cheese," composed the "Wonder Cantata" for our chancel choir, and written music for the Vashon Island Chorale's 25th anniversary concert, which premiered in Seattle's Benaroya Hall. She has seven CDs to her credit and has produced recordings for other singers and pianists.

Bron's leadership has amplified choral experiences for area singers and audiences. She typically directs the combined choirs of Fauntleroy UCC and Peace Lutheran for our annual community Christmas concert and is artistic director of the South Seattle College Community Choir. Through teaching and the events she produces, Bron also helps young vocalists and other performers nurture their talents.
