When 瑞安·埃利斯 joined the faculty of 西雅图 Pacific University as director of the Men’s Choir, he brought much experience working with voices and choirs. In addition to leading choral ensembles at the University of Washington while in residence as a doctoral student, he is also the music director of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Bellevue, and artistic director of Choral Sounds Northwest of Northwest Associated Arts.
Dr. Ellis’ choral method and joy in working with choirs of all ages and abilities has delighted choristers and audiences in the greater 西雅图 area for four years.

Prior to starting a doctorate at UW, Dr. Ellis was director of the Bermuda Chamber Choir and co-founder of the Bermuda Festival Orchestra. He led an active performance season with those two ensembles that included several national television spots. As choirmaster and organist of the Bermuda Cathedral, he had the opportunity to lead a Matins service for the visiting Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip during the country’s 400th anniversary year.
Dr. Ellis has most recently studied choral conducting with Geoffrey Boers and Giselle Wyers, and formerly with Wayne Abercrombie and as a chorister under Kenneth Fulton. His organ studies have been with Herndon Spillman and Peter Sykes. He holds a Bachelor of Music in both Composition and Organ Performance and a Master of Music in Choral Conducting. He is an active member of the American Choral Directors Association and American Guild of Organists. He completed his DMA in choral conducting from the University of Washington in June 2017.
