Today (11/02) we had a conversation with Mary Snow, soprano member of the big choir and treasurer with the Board of Directors at Heartland Sings.
"Mary Snow is a native of Fort Wayne. She graduated from Concordia Lutheran High School and Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana majoring in Management with an Accounting option. Mary was a Field Examiner for the Indiana State Board of Accounts auditing local governmental agencies. She retired in 2022 after 38 years. Mary has been with Heartland Sings since its inception and also its predecessor, Opus 18, as a soprano and now performs in the alto section of Heartland as a part time vocal artist. Mary is the Treasurer for Heartland Sings offering oversight of the day to day financial operations. Mary enjoys running, exercising, walking Wrigley the dog and hopes to hop on the bicycle more. She enjoys Fort Wayne Philharmonic and Fort Wayne Children’s Choir concerts with her husband, Rob, and visiting her daughter, Cecelia, in Philadelphia. Mary is also a member of the Philharmonic Chorus and sings and plays handbells at Bethlehem Lutheran Church where she has been a lifetime member. " (Snow, M. 2023)
