BRIAN CROMER

DIRECTOR

Brian Cromer became the Brotherhood’s director in August 2016 and made an immediate impression.

A New Jersey native, Brian moved to Chicago after receiving his degree in vocal music education from Rowan University in 2009 and has worked as an elementary and middle school music and choir teacher since. Brian also directs the music program at St. John's Episcopal Church in Naperville where he puts

His emphasis on fun and fellowship makes rehearsals a joy – something to look forward to every week

Brian, his wife Jess, and their two daughters Sadie and Stevie got tired of big city living and relocated to the suburbs of southwest Chicagoland where Brian arranges custom charts for the Brotherhood of Harmony in his spare time.
