Amy Stuart Hunn

Soprano Amy Stuart Hunn is a choral conductor by training, with advanced degrees from Stanford University and USC. She is Emeritus Artistic Director of the Los Altos-based Collage Vocal Ensemble, served as director of the Stanford Summer Chorus for eight seasons, and has guest-directed a number of Bay Area ensembles including the California Bach Society and the Stanford Symphonic Chorus. In 2017, she relocated to Portland, Oregon with her family, in search of rain and adventure - both of which she has found in abundance. In Portland, she currently sings on staff with the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral Choir, and will appear this spring with the women's vocal ensemble In Mulieribus. When she is not singing or wrangling her two fascinating children, Amy enjoys cooking, gardening, yoga, boxing (with a bag only!), and hiking with her hubby, Kurt.
