Marie's Send-off

A group of past and present PDX Vox singers and friends gathered at McMenamins Kennedy School on a rainy January evening to celebrate our founder, Marie Schumacher, on her retirement from leadership of PDX Vox

We’ll miss Marie’s leadership! At the same time, we’re grateful that she has built such a robust organization and is leaving it in the capable hands of managing director Molly Mickley and music director Aaron Elliott, supported by program administrator Alison Jakel. (Yes, it does indeed take 3 people to replace Marie’s incredible set of skills and talents).

If you weren’t able to be there (or simply want to relive the moment), you can watch Marie’s closing words, as well as the tributes made by staff and singers, by clicking on the image below.
