Lisa Wolff, conductor, Manchester

Lisa Wolff, conductor from Manchester, has been the Music Director of the Manchester Choral Society since 1982. She is also Music Director and Organist at Grace Church in Manchester, and Director of Amare Cantare, a chamber chorus in Durham. Lisa performs as a lyric soprano with orchestras around New England. Her State Arts Council Fellow-ship came at an opportune moment in her life. It was to be the year of a well-earned sabbatical from teaching and conducting. In her application Lisa wrote, “A State Arts Council Fellowship would enhance my career by giving me the resources to allow me to ‘recharge’ my creativebatteries.”

She will begin the formal study of pipe organ. Her report to the New Hampshire community will be a first organ recital--an event to raise funds for music scholarships for high school students. The recital will be “a perfect vehicle to give back to the community which has done so much to support us through the years.”
