AAUW’s Raleigh-Wake Branch is proud to present the speaker for our
October 15th Meeting
Gillian Fields
One Woman’s Journey into the World of Classical Music
The presenter for our October branch meeting is Gillian Fields. She is the Raleigh-based choir director at Oak City Baptist Church and has discovered many other ways of using her exceptional talent. She teaches voice and piano in the Raleigh-Durham area and gives concerts here and elsewhere in the Triangle. The subject of her presentation is the journey that led her into the world of classical music, where a varied and rewarding career awaited her.
Gillian’s music journey began in 5th grade when her elementary school transitioned to a Gifted and Talented Magnet school, where the arts were a focus. After her first recital, Gillian was hooked. She knew that music would become an integral part of her life.
Gillian received a Bachelor of Music degree with a concentration in voice performance from Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. Gillian’s education continued at The Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford in Connecticut and earned a Master of Music degree with a concentration in voice performance.
NOTE: This is a special time for us since we haven’t had a face-to-face meeting in quite some time. Please RSVP to: terry.c.wall@gmail.com
