Meet Connie: Fifth Grader Guru

Connie OrdwayConnie Ordway is a fifth grade teacher who just joined the Long Beach Chorale this year, and we’re so pleased to have her! She sang for nine years in the South Bay Master Chorale, “under the direction of the incomparable Iris Levine,” she says. “If I don’t sing, I will die! The beauty of music sustains me on a daily basis; to be a part of producing that beauty nourishes my soul,” Connie says. We couldn’t have said it better!

Connie spends her time outside of work taking care of her three children. She has a fifteen-year-old son, Isaac, who is a sophomore at South Torrance High School. She also has two adopted children, six-year-old Robbie and three-year-old Lila. “They are biological siblings that we adopted from foster care, and we couldn’t be happier now that our family is complete!” Connie says. What a wonderful story!

Connie’s favorite musical genres are classical, country, and musical theater. Welcome to the club. my dear.
