Melodee Risi - Interim Director

Living in Alaska is a dream come true for Melodee because she loves snow!  Snowballing, sledding, shoveling, snowshoeing – she is never happier than during the winter.  Melodee became a Sweet Adeline in 1999, becoming a Certified Director in 2011.  She co-founded Alaska A Cappella University in 2008, a music festival for teenage youth singers.  In addition to the chorus, she enjoys coaching ASC quartets, as well as playing the piano.  She and her husband have 2 grown children and spouses living nearby, with six grandchildren to enjoy the outdoor life with her.  Just don’t ask her to wear pink – she will cringe at the very thought of it.
