Honoring Kathleen Ebling Shaw '85

After more than 30 years on the Westminster Choir College faculty, Kathleen Ebling Shaw '85 has announced that she will be retiring in spring 2024.

A Westminster alumna, Kathy first began teaching in the 1991-1992 academic year. She has led national and regional tours, campus concerts, and memorable holiday performances. She has also appeared on The Today Show and at Carnegie Hall, and has impacted countless students and performers.

"My time in the Westminster Concert Bell Choir stands as a pinnacle of my Westminster experience. Guided by Kathy Ebling Shaw, I not only honed my skills as an accomplished ringer but also cultivated the expertise necessary to inspire future generations of ringers." - Derek Cressman '04
