Knox Sutterfield (M.M. choral conducting) recently graduated summa cum laude from Furman University, where he was a Herman W. Lay Scholar and recipient of the Presser Scholarship. While at Furman, he was Student Conductor of the Furman Singers, Assistant Conductor of the Men’s and Women’s Chorales, and a member of the Chamber Choir. During a semester at the Accademia dell’Arte in Arezzo, Italy, Knox studied voice with Baroque specialist Jill Feldman, sang with and conducted Insieme Vocale Vox Cordis, and explored physical theater techniques alongside his colleagues in the theater program. A finalist in the 2011 ACDA National Student Conducting Competition, Knox gained further conducting experience in the Greenville community as the Herring Church Music Intern at First Baptist Church, as the assistant conductor of the choirs at Trinity Lutheran Church, and as a founding member and assistant conductor of Concordiae: Singers of Ecclesiastical Music, with whom he explored the possibilities of blending performance and worship. Knox is thrilled to continue his study of music for both performance and worship in the ISM.
