Conductor
Lorraine’s ability to work collaboratively with young and old voices led her to the University of Notre Dame where she received her Masters in Sacred Music, Choral Conducting in 2021. While at Notre Dame, she co-directed the Chamber and Liturgical Choirs as part of the Sacred Music Academy. She prepared choristers for a special Christmas performance with the South Bend Symphony Orchestra in 2019 and for their latest album, Ceremony of Carols, along with weekly Vespers at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Lorraine served as choral assistant for the University’s Folk Choir and prepared this chorus for Notre Dame’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar in 2021 and for their 40th Anniversary Concert. Soon after, Lorraine would become the chorus master for the creation, production, and performance of The Passion. She accompanied the Folk Choir on the premiere tour in the United States and for the recording in Jerusalem, Israel.
During her tenure as music director at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Waterbury, CT, Lorraine established the church’s first children’s choir, welcoming nearly 30 young musicians of the parish, as well as the first choral music education program at Catholic Academy of Waterbury for its 200 students, PreK-8th Grade.
Organist
Lorraine received her first instruction in the pipe organ from the Hartt School of Music, Hartford, Connecticut. She held the position of Organ Scholar at the Cathedral of St. Joseph for eight years, performing for liturgies and assisting with concerts and conferences hosted by the Cathedral’s music program throughout the Archdiocese of Hartford. In 2015, Lorraine became the Organ Scholar at the College of the Holy Cross; this four-year, full tuition scholarship (awarded to one student every three years) included an apprenticeship with organists James David Christie and Ezequiel Menéndez. As part of her organ training, Lorraine has travelled on study tours to Europe and participated in multiple workshops at conservatories in the United States including Curtis Institute for Music, Oberlin Conservatory, Eastman School of Music, Hartt School of Music, and University of Notre Dame. As a recitalist, Lorraine has performed at venues throughout the Northeast including Mechanics Hall in Worcester, First Lutheran Church in Boston, and on the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia.
