Mrs. Pohl’s career in the musical arts dates back more than 30 years, during which she has served as conductor, director, teacher, actor, and producer in various concert and entertainment productions. She has been actively involved in the artistic and interpretive disciplines of the performing arts, with major engagement in choral and keyboard music. Her more than ten years of independent study of vocal music and nine years studying organ have made Mrs. Pohl a uniquely qualified leader and mentor in serious vocal music presentation.
