ARTISTIC Director :: Joey Coray

Joey Coray studied choral music and music education at San Jose State University, where he trained under Dr. Charlene Archibeque of the SJSU Choraliers. Though worship ministry is his calling, he has been a choir enthusiast for over 20 years. He has sung as a part of several advanced choral and vocal groups, served as the Big Valley High School choir director for four years, and has directed many church choir performances. He has written and arranged several pieces for choir. He is known for taking inexperienced singers and releasing their potential for excellence. The second and third pictures include many of his life long friends as well as two of his mentors - Dr. Charlene Arhibeque (middle) and Elena Sharkova (bottom left) artistic director for Silicon Valley’s Cantabile. Fun fact: Joey was a lead singer with the premier Silicon Valley big band A Touch of Brass for 10 years, where he “crooned” for events such as the San Jose Jazz Festival and large corporate parties for companies like Samsung.
