Executive Board Members

President: Keisha Smith

Keisha has been in the chorus for 3 years now, but has been involved in music her whole life. From singing in church and playing the flute, to piano recitals and high school theater, she has enjoyed immersing herself in every aspect of music. She also has a beautiful 4 year old daughter Kamaia, who keeps her on her toes, to say the least. She is becoming quite the little performer herself, often telling me to stop singing because it is her turn.  She loves to read, travel, relax and spend time with friends and family.  She is a lover of math, spreadsheets, analysis, and quality improvement, and has been super fortunate to be with a company (going on 11 years) that allows her to do these things every day.

Artistic Director: Lyndsey Holmes

Lyndsey has a rich background in choral music as both a singer and a conductor. Her journey began in elementary school, where she sang in church and school choirs. In middle school, she joined the Amerikids Show Choir in West Chester, where she became the first-ever Alumni Assistant to the Director, marking the start of her path as a choral conductor. In high school, Lyndsey was an active participant in her school’s Chamber Choir and District Chorus Festival. As a Music Major at Roanoke College, she sang in the College Choir, where she served as a section leader and guest conductor, touring Europe and the Northeastern United States.
 
Lyndsey has conducted various choirs in church, community, and school settings, including the Chicago Children’s Choir (now Uniting Voices Chicago), The Larks of the Junior League of Philadelphia, and as the Director of Music at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Lionville. She enjoys working with singers of all ages and abilities, guiding them through a diverse repertoire.
 
In addition to her role with the 49ers Chorus, Lyndsey operates her own private music studio, where she teaches piano and voice. When she’s not making music, she loves spending time with her husband and daughter.
