Meet
Connie Donatelli, Director of Vocal Music
Connie Donatelli has been a very active vocal music educator in
the state of Kansas for more than 21 years, including over 14 years
at Cowley College. The Cowley Concert Choir received one
of the state’s highest awards by being selected to perform
in the Kansas Music Educators Association (KMEA) annual convention
at Century II in Wichita, Kansas in 2002 and again in 2005.
Another highlight in Donatelli’s career at Cowley was the
April 2002 Concert Choir performance at Carnegie Hall in New York
City. Before coming to Cowley, she taught elementary vocal
music at Holton, and middle and high school vocal music at Remington,
Circle and Winfield unified school districts. Her groups
have performed for many other statewide organizations as well as
being the featured guests at several National Conventions.
She is often asked to judge vocal contests and has been a featured
guest director for various high school vocal festivals as well
as the Southwest KMEA, South Central KMEA and the North Central
KMEA District Honor Choirs.
Donatelli is also highly respected by her colleagues at Cowley
as she was named the college’s third Endowed Chair for Teaching
Excellence and Student Learning. In 1994, she was presented
a Master Teacher Award. Her professional quality performance
groups are highly sought after and serve as Cowley’s finest
ambassadors. Her passion and trademark enthusiasm is an inspiration
and generates an electric atmosphere that is contagious in the
classroom as well as to concert audiences.
She is a graduate of Kansas State University where she received
both a bachelor of science degree in Music Education, and a Master
of Music degree in Vocal Performance. Donatelli directs the Concert
Choir, Cowley College Singers, teaches Applied Voice Lessons, and
Music Appreciation.
