Since 2011 our Music Director has been Meredith Blackmore.
Meredith came to the RMVC as an accompanist in 2008. After three years as accompanist, she accepted the appointment to Conductor. This was a natural transition for her (and us) since she was already providing direction for interpretation and performance support while at the keyboard.
Meredith has an extensive musical background and experience starting with piano lessons at age 5. Through the years she performed in many Music Festivals, local T.V. programs and as accompanist for church, school and regional choirs as well as for instrumentalists at the university level. Conducting RMVC was the first experience as a conductor and she turned out to be a natural in the not-so easy challenge of obtaining an acceptable musical performance from the choir.
She is truly the ‘heart and soul’ of our current program – organizing and rehearsing song selections; providing an amazing performance at the keyboard to hold together our eclectic repertoire.
