Peggy Crawford
FOUNDING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AND CONDUCTOR LAUREATE
Peggy is an internationally recognized teacher and conductor of children’s voices. Her motivation to start Barrington Children's Choir was to enrich the lives of children through love of music and the joy and fulfillment of artistic accomplishment. This motivation has been realized since 1986. In June 2010, Peggy made her final rotations in Barrington 220, retiring after 25 years of service in five different schools. In Spring 2017, Peggy raised her baton one last time as Artistic Director in celebration of 30 years since founding the Barrington Children’s Choir. We celebrate her and the accomplishment of changing thousands of lives, and creating this jewel for our community and beyond.
