Glen Arbor Summer Singers gets Kuhl new director
From staff reports
Upon the retirement last summer of Dick DeVinney, the Summer Singers director for many years, Patrick Kuhl, will be the new director of the Glen Arbor Summer Singers. Patrick is a summer resident of Northport where he has been the organist for the Omena Presb
yterian Church since 1993. He has also been involved in other Leelanau activities including Artistic Board of Directors for the Depth Foundation (Development of Educational Practices and Theories) and has taught drama and music at the Learning Center in Leland.
He has taught vocal music in Detroit and Troy Public schools for the past 35 years and has a long career accompanying many Detroit Metro choral groups including the General Motors Chorus.
“I am excited to be working with the Summer Singers, a valued community group on the Leelanau. This year’s program will be a celebration of American composers and the 175th anniversary of Michigan’s statehood.”
All interested singers are welcome to join the Summer Singers for rehearsals on Tuesdays beginning June 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Glen Lake Community Reformed Church. The Summer Singers free concert is part of the GAAA Manitou Music Festival on Tuesday, August 7 at 7 p.m.
