Joe Montgomery is former Assistant Conductor of the Antelope Valley Master Chorale, a position he
held for many years. He has conducted the Master Chorale in Performance and Rehearsal. This
group is comprised of Junior College students as well as adult community members. All possess
certain choral music skills and a strong desire to perform. Joe is a strong leader and a
cooperative team member. He enjoys working with a group with such musical sophistication;
they challenge him.
In addition, Joe has conducted Liturgical Adult Singers, high
school students in a variety of choral groupings, as well as
younger students. He has a strong esprit de corps that is necessary
when working with middle school as well as high school students.
He motivated his students because he made rehearsals enjoyable
but disciplined. Reward was performance and the adulation of
the audience comprised of parents, siblings, teachers, administrators,
and friends. Church Choirs demand an equally exacting Choral
Director, but one who can also pray with his group to encourage
and inspire them. Joe Montgomery has conducted a variety of
Church Choirs in the L.A. area. He has conducted at Lancaster
Methodist Church, Palmdale Methodist Church, Burbank Baptist
Church and True Light Chinese Presbyterian Church. He has had
the unique experience of conducting a choir and congregation
that was multi-lingual. Half sang in English and the other half
sang in Cantonese, all at the same time, all on the same line
and note. Joe Montgomery has a Master's in Music and much experience
as a Choral Conductor, as well as a participant in many choral
groups.
