Dance, Music, & Song Camps
Inside Jamie’s soul are two wolves. One spends ages revising her professional bio. The other wears fun pants.
Jamie is a conductor, singer, and arranger who began her career as a high school choral director in her home state of New Jersey. She earned her DMA in choral conducting from the University of Miami Frost School of Music under the direction of Dr. Amanda Quist and holds degrees in music education and choral pedagogy from Westminster Choir College of Rider University and Mason Gross School of the Arts of Rutgers University. She currently serves as Associate Director of Choral Studies at Kansas State University and as Artistic Director of the Kansas State University Summer Choral Institute and Konza Music Academy. Dr. Bunce is a community song leader and dance enthusiast and arranges early American folk repertoire for choral performance. She is published by Santa Barbara Music Press.
She loves, above all other pursuits, singing with other people and spends most of her waking life doing so, whether around the campfire or with professional ensembles such as Gallicantus, Seraphic Fire, the Philadelphia Symphonic Choir, and Blue Earth Camerata. She really loves to learn and share all kinds of music, from large master works to spirituals to silly songs, shanties, laments, renaissance motets, bawdy madrigals, and more and more and more. She really really loves to help people of all experience levels uncover their innate musicianship and to connect with their own unique voices and with one another through ensemble singing. She can’t wait to return to Camp Cavell and make music with everyone!
