Our Director

 

What can we say about our marvelous director? Fun! Dynamic! Irreverent! Talented! Those are just a few well chosen adjectives. With her upbeat personality, Nikki Blackmer has been a tremendous asset to our chorus. She's encouraging and patient, but knows what she wants and how to get it.

Nikki has helped grow a struggling small chorus into a fantastic group of can do women that improve daily in their singing abilities.

Though originally intending to coach the chorus until a permanent director could be found Nikki quickly learned how addictive barbershop music can be. Nikki has brought new energy to a cappella joy and we are so happy to have her as our permanent, full-time director.

Upon completion of her Master’s Degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Washington Nikki joined Portland Opera’s Young Artist Program, Portland Opera Works! Nikki has been a featured solo artist with the South Australian State Opera and the Wake Forest Orchestra and Choir. She has been involved in the International Vocal Artist’s Institute at Portland Opera and Vocal Arts NorthWest in Seattle.

Nikki is a full-time voice instructor and is always looking for new students. You may contact her at (425) 821-5758 for more information about voice lessons.
