Michael Murphy made his debut as Artistic and Music Director of the Palouse Choral Society

(formerly known as the Idaho-Washington Concert Chorale) in 2009. Dr. Murphy has a wealth of con-

ducting experience, ranging from the university level to community choruses, secondary school, and

church.

Critics, colleagues, and singers acknowledge Murphy’s conducting and rehearsal style as passionate,

enthusiastic, engaging, and above all, positive. Under his baton, Palouse Choral Society has increased

its membership from fifty to over eighty singers and the concert series has grown to four concerts per

year. Summer 2011 he accompanied several PCS singers to the International Prague Choral Festival.

Dr. Murphy is Director of Choral Activities and Assistant Professor of Conducting at the University of

Idaho where he conducts the Vandaleers Concert Choir and University Chorus, and teaches graduate

and undergraduate courses in conducting and choral methods.

A native of Wilmington, North Carolina, Dr. Murphy received his degrees in Conducting and Choral Music Education from Florida

State University and East Carolina University. His dissertation, Performance Practice of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Passio secundum

Johannem – A Study of Twenty-Five years of Recorded History as Influenced by the Historically Informed Performance Move-

ment was awarded a grant for dissertation research. He is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Idaho Bach Festival. Dr. Murphy

has held several state leadership positions in the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) and the Music Educators National

Conference (MENC). Presently, he is President-Elect for the Idaho state chapter of the American Choral Directors Association. Dr.

Murphy serves as an active adjudicator and clinician for workshops, festivals, honor choirs and clinics.

Our Artistic and Music Director

Elena Panchenko is originally from Ukraine and studied at the Moscow Conservatory where

she earned her degree in piano performance, music history and music theory. She served as the

Musical Director of the Penn State Opera for four years and performed the debut of two new oper-

as, including Mrs. Satan, an opera about the life of the first woman presidential candidate, Victoria

Woodhall. Working extensively as an accompanist and church musician, Elena has performed with

groups as varied as a children’s dance group to such well-known musicians as Francis Orval and Da-

vid Shifrin, clarinetist and Music Director of Chamber Music at the Lincoln Center. In addition to

Elena’s duties with the chorale, she is also the Music Director at St. James’ Episcopal Church in Pull-

man. Elena’s family includes her husband, Alex, WSU Math Professor and former Ukrainian rock star

(as is Elena), and her son Ivan, a university student.
