Dear ACDA Colleagues:
It is with great sadness that I must share the news of the passing of Cheryl West, Director of the Indianapolis Youth Chorale. Early Saturday morning, Cheryl died from an apparent cerebral hemorrhage at St. Vincent Hospital. Her passing is an unexpected and terrible loss for her students, friends, and colleagues.
Through choral music Cheryl loved her students, and all of us in ACDA. Recently she conducted the Indianapolis Youth Chorale at ACDA National Conference in Dallas. Last year she made her Carnegie debut with Manhattan Concert Productions and was scheduled to do multiple All-State Honor Choirs. She also was the registration chair at last year’s Central Division Convention.
As an Adjunct Professor at Butler University, University of Indianapolis, and as a loving colleague, her vibrancy and love for choral music will be greatly missed.
The funeral will be Wednesday, September 3, 4:00 pm at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, 100 West 86th Street,
Indianapolis, Visitation will begin at 2:00 pm that day at the church.
