David Vowell, Choir Director Emeritus David is an alumnus of the Stetson University School of Music, where his voice teachers included Anthony Capell and Robert Fort. He was a regular soloist with the Collegium Musicum at Stetson and has been a guest soloist for many churches and civic groups in North Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee. He sang for ten seasons with the Willis Bodine Chorale and is a past president of that organization. During much of the time David has served as Choir Director for Kanapaha, he was employed by the University of Florida as the Operations Manager of the Molecular Pathology Core Laboratory.

His limitless repetoir has enthused normally quiet people to join the choir, and just as all thought David to have revealed the full scope of his abilities, he orchestrates a benefit concert for the New Fellowship Hall fund, singing, among other things, a feature-length song in one of the twelve mythical Tolkienese languages- entirely from heart. David has relocated to historic Murphy, North Carolina, where he is fulfilling a lifelong dream to operate his own Art Gallery. David is an avid supporter of the arts, frequently at the Campbell Folk School in Brasstown. Please visit his gallery at www.davidsfineart.net .
