We are very pleased to announce that Immanuel’s new orchestra director is Mrs. Stephanie Kleven.
She graduated
magna cum laude
from Bradley University with a music degree in viola performance. She has served as principal violist of the West Hartford Symphony, the Wheaton Symphony, and the Bradley University Symphony. She’s shared the stage with many notable musicians, including members of the Chicago Lyric Opera and the New York Philharmonic, and she has even had the opportunity to perform for the Pope. She has high expectations for her students, yet she makes lessons fun and engaging. Parents initial reactions upon meeting her at our activities fair have been very positive. Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Kleven to Immanuel!
