about conway
EDUCATIONConway holds a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from Temple University’s Boyer College of Music & Dance. They are currently in pursuit of a second Vocal Performance degree, this time a Master of Music with an Advanced Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy, from NYU Steinhardt. Notably, Conway also spent four years at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, picking up an Honors Regents Diploma on their way out.
ORIGINSA native New Yorker, Conway hails from the great borough of Brooklyn. They have been singing along to Gilbert & Sullivan since they could speak, riding the subway unattended since they were old enough for a green student MetroCard, and working with children since they decided they could facilitate their siblings’ bedtimes better than a babysitter.
PANDEMIC ERAUpon the shutting down of in-person artistic endeavors circa 2020, Conway found themself in a bit of a pickle — they had just been instated as Music Director of Temple University’s on-campus musical theater cabaret club, Broadway on Broad. In the face of adversity, Conway spearheaded the effort to flip BoB’s format to a completely virtual one while maintaining its usual output of 3 cabarets each semester. Conway themself is responsible for a combined 36% of the club’s virtual performance materials (here’s one of the best!).
AROUND TOWNCurrently, Conway is an adjunct instructor of voice at NYU, and a faculty member at the Church St. School for Music & Art, teaching voice and chorus. Through the Church St. School, they direct the Grade 4 chorus program at P.S. 234. Conway also teaches Mommy & Me toddler music classes at the Upper East Side’s beloved Art Farm.
