Musica de Filia

Jessica is a founding member of Musica de Filia.  Ms. Russell graduated in
 December of 2004 from Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education and Vocal Performance.  While at Ithaca, Jessica studied and worked with the world-renowned conductors and educators, Dr. Janet Galván and Dr. Verna Brummett.  Their work with children’s voices truly inspired and encouraged her own love of treble choirs.  She studied voice with Carol McAmis, whose expertise in body movement and awareness helped to develop Jessica’s musicianship and knowledge of the human voice.  During her junior and senior years at Ithaca, Jessica helped jump-start the collegiate chapter of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) and attended many conferences for professional development. 

She is honored to join forces with her former teacher and long-time mentor, Jaye Churchill, and is enjoying her work with Musica de Filia’s Lyric and Concert Choirs. Ms. Russell is the choral director at Freeport Middle and High Schools.
