LOGAN SHEVALIER | ARTISTIC DIRECTOR | HE/HIM
Logan Shevalier, a native of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, grew up singing in choirs and now directs several groups in the Spokane area. He is an accomplished classical vocalist and director, and has performed as a recital soloist and in opera choruses, with repertoire ranging from Puccini to Britten. In 2021, he served as assistant director to his university’s a cappella choir.
Logan received his Bachelor of Arts in Music from Austin College in Sherman, TX, and has studied under Andrea Olsen, Wayne Crannell, and Scott Rednour. In addition to directing Spectrum Singers, Logan also directs music ministry at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church and is the Music Director of Lilac City Voices, a mixed barbershop ensemble in Spokane Valley. Logan has two cats (Henry and James), a jungle of houseplants, and is overjoyed to be making music that makes a difference.
MAURA KEGLEY | ACCOMPANIST | SHE/HER
Maura Kegley found her niche for accompanying choirs in fifth grade. She continued on with North Central High School switching from choir to jazz band in her senior year and accompanied various musical plays with director Tom Armitage. She went on to Eastern Washington University for her music degree, studying under Dr. James Edmunds and Dr. David Rostkoski. She studied classical music in her early years from Carl Leuer, who studied under Stojowski, a student of Paderewski. She also studied jazz from Spokane legend Arnie Carruthers. Currently she plays at Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane, accompanying their choir and Sunday services. She adores her husband, Dan, and her two sons, Ian and Eric. She has been with Spectrum since its inception, and is honored to be the accompanist for such an amazing group.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
HANNA BAPTIST | PRESIDENT | SHE/HER
Hanna Baptist is a Certified Medical Assistant who initially joined Spectrum Singers in Fall 2019 and was thrilled to rejoin in Spring 2023. Outside of the choir, she enjoys volunteering with other
nonprofits, playing the acoustic guitar, attending musicals, and playing video games of all
genres on her PC and Switch.
CARA F. | VICE PRESIDENT | THEY/THEM
Cara F. is Spokane-born-and-raised and a graduate of Whitworth University. Cara first joined the choir in its ramp-up 2022 spring season and has enjoyed seeing the choir come back to life after the COVID-19 pandemic. Outside of choir, they enjoy DIY projects, gardening; fiber crafts including sewing, knitting, and Tunisian crochet; and attending local artists’ events.
David Lenz has been a Spokane choir kid since the 80’s in both Garry Middle School and Rogers High School. He continued in college starting a Vocal Education degree in San Diego. But life (and children) happens and after 30+ years of food service and retail management where the hours are not conducive to free time for hobbies, he has now gotten a day job that has let him come back home to music. He has been a member of Spectrum Singers since September 2023 and has volunteered as the Bass section leader and Events Director during that time.
Krystelle is a born-and-raised Washingtonian who’s lived on both sides of the state — because why settle for just one kind of rain? She’s an author and spiritual life coach with a passion for helping people tackle their medical hurdles like the boss battles they are. She joined the choir in Fall 2024 and got hooked — now she’s in it for the long haul. When she’s not coaching, writing, or harmonizing, Krystelle can be found hanging out with her husband, stepdaughter, and two overly enthusiastic Australian Shepherds who think they run the house.
