Linda Evans Manuilow

Meet Linda Evans Manuilow. Linda began directing the chorale in the fall of 2017 when it was offered as a Community Education class at the Santa Rosa Junior College. After returning to in person classes post COVID-19, SRJC needed to take a minimum two semester break to reassess its Community Education program leaving the chorale without a home. Linda worked tirelessly to create a group that formed a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization now known as The Petaluma Chorale. This session’s concerts will be the first on our own and we could not have done it without her dedication and direction.

Linda has an undergraduate degree in Music Education from Asbury University, and a master’s degree in Vocal Pedagogy from Oakland University, as well as post-master’s degree training from Westminster Choir College in conducting, choral technique and choral literature.

Linda has taught all levels of vocal music, and is currently working with individuals and at local high schools in addition to the chorale. She is enthusiastic and passionate about her work and is looking forward to expanding the chorale’s reach into our community.

The Petaluma Chorale is a mixed vocal ensemble dedicated to the art of superior choral singing, including formal, jazz, Broadway and other contemporary styles. The Petaluma Chorale presents biannual concerts in the Fall and Spring. New members are always welcome! A simple audition is required for new members (or returning members who've not sung with group in two years or more) in order to place them into the proper section within the chorus. Ability to read music is helpful but not required.
