Mrs. Eynon was the first woman in the conducting program to graduate from the University of Michigan where she studied for her Doctorate in Musical Arts from 1980-82. After 10 years of public high school choral directing in Michigan, Mrs. Eynon moved to Arizona where she created the Arizona Arts Chorale in 1995. During the past 12 years of directing, the Arizona Arts Chorale performed with Jackson Berkey from Mannheim Steam Roller, Robert Moody, Hermann Michael, James Sedares, Doc Severinsen, and the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra. During her tenure there, the Chorale performed at Carnegie Hall with John Rutter, and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to celebrate the July 4 holiday. Several commissions were performed by local and national composers and the Chorale has been invited to sing in Beijing. Presently, She has created a 20 voice adult community choir which performs American choral music, and they hope to perform at hospices, hospitals, the Suns Basketball games, and concerts around the Valley of the Sun.
Before arriving in Phoenix, Mrs. Eynon directed the 60-voice Madrigal Chorale of Southfield, Michigan for 11 years. While with the Madrigal Chorale, she was selected to be the first woman guest conductor of the Plymouth Symphony and Birmingham Symphony Orchestras. As a high school music educator, Mrs. Eynon toured 3 summers with her choirs through Eastern and Western Europe, competed in the International Musical Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales, and was the first American choir to tour Bulgaria and Romania in 1977. She also directed state honors choirs and adjudicated choir festivals in Michigan and Arizona. The Arizona State University Choral Union toured to Austrailia in 2001, in which Mrs. Eynon performed.
In 1980 and 1999, Carolyn was honored as Outstanding Woman of the Year by Strathmore Directories Who's Who. She presently serves as Western R and S Chair of Community Choirs and supports other Arizona music organizations; National Society of Arts and Letters, and Phoenix Symphony Allegro. She has served as a panelist on the Scottsdale Cultural Council's Grant Committee.
Her hobbies include hiking, kayaking, sailing, animal fostering, and volunteering with National Charity League. Her husband, a tenor, whom she met in high school, is retired but loves race car driving....hopefully, none of their 3 daughters will follow his hobby!
