Meet our community.

 

Director: Stephanie Helleckson

Stephanie began conducting in 2012 and has studied under Dr. André Thomas, Dr. Gregory Gentry, Dr. David Kates, and Dr. Hannah Wunsch-Ryan. Her ensembles have included the North Fork Community Choir, Florida State University Choral Union, Deer Lake United Methodist Traditional Worship Choir, Sacred Heart Catholic Christmas Choir, and Arts for All Children’s Summer Choir. She has also conducted several major works with orchestral ensembles, including Handel’s Messiah, Haydn’s Little Organ Mass, and Mozart’s “Piccolomini” Missa Brevis in C Major K. 258. Her approach focuses on building community and shared experience, using multiple learning paths to foster inclusivity.

Accompanist: Karen Helleckson

Karen has played the piano since she was 7. She met her husband, Brent, in the NDSU Concert Choir and they continue to sing in choirs with their two children, Jacob and Stephanie (our director).
