ARTISTIC DIRECTOR and CONDUCTOR

Kathryn Mahan is a seasoned choral conductor whose work is rooted in the belief that choral music can strengthen communities, advance the musical artform, and inspire meaningful change. Throughout her career, she has combined artistic excellence with a commitment to social impact, leading five benefit concerts over the past 20 years that brought together more than 100 singers each and raised significant funds for good causes.

Kathryn graduated from Queens University in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she studied with the late Dr. Mary Nell Saunders. From 1994 to 2001, she served as Co-Artistic Director of One Voice, Charlotte's Gay, Lesbian, and Gay Affirmative Chorus. She credits the GALA Choruses organization with helping her mature as both a conductor and a community leader. She then spent two decades as a singer, organizer, and artistic director for various choral organizations in Charlotte.

After relocating to Maine, Kathryn served as Interim Co-Conductor of Midcoast Community Chorus during the fall 2024 semester along with Kim Murphy. In 2026, she volunteered as artistic director for the Bangor Community Chorus, continuing her commitment to creating opportunities for singers to connect and grow together. While she wishes the circumstances were different, she is grateful for the opportunity to support the chorus during this season of transition and is honored to once again serve as Interim Artistic Director and Conductor of the Midcoast Community Chorus.
