Following an extensive search, the Board of Directors of the Westchester Oratorio Society (“WOS”) is thrilled to announce that David Štech has been hired to lead the choir into the future. David will serve as both Artistic Director and Conductor, starting in September.
Husband of our accompanist Mun-Tzung Wong, and close associate of our former Conductor, Ben Niemczyk, David Štech is already very familiar with WOS. His extensive experience leading professional and volunteer choral groups and his vocal coaching and pedagogic background make him uniquely qualified to lead WOS into its next chapter. Over the course of his career, he has led more than 14 choirs, 12 professional orchestras and has been involved in over 60 productions with 15 opera companies. He recently relocated to the New York area after completion of the course work required for a Doctorate of Musical Arts that he will receive from the University of North Texas upon completion of his thesis.
“I share a passion for inspiring musicians at all levels and am eager to bring this enthusiasm to WOS,” he stated, adding, “I recognize the real talent in this group, and I am excited about the prospect of further nurturing it.”
