JACOMO Chorale April 26, 2025
Welcome Suzanne Isbell – Pianist
We’re pleased to welcome Suzanne Isbell to the role. Suzanne Hatcher Isbell began her career as an acclaimed singer, coach, conductor, arranger, and vocal pedagogue having taught and performed throughout the United States and Europe. Now, she prefers to play the piano while other people sing. Suzanne’s training includes degrees from California State University, Stanislaus (B.A.); Rice University (M.M.); and studies at the University of Miami, where she completed the coursework and exams for the Doctorate of Musical Arts. While Suzanne still sings some professionally, at this point in her life she has settled into stability with more boring jobs in retail and corporate management. Currently, she is the Administrative Coordinator and Music/Worship Director for Indian Heights UMC and a staff accompanist at Kansas City, Kansas Community College. Suzanne is married to Dan, and has three kids: Fella, a 3 year old smooth-haired Collie mix; Samson, a 5 year old Maine Coon mix; and Delilah, a 12 year old diluted Tabby.
