Presenting Justin Miller – Musical Arts Director of Vocal Summit 

Justin Miller is a sought-after Choral Conductor, Arranger, Clinician, and Adjudicator.  He was the Musical Director of the Westminster Chorus, which has grown into an ensemble with a diverse repertoire while keeping its roots in Barbershop music. In 2009, Justin led the Westminster Chorus to the title of “Choir of the World” at the International Musical Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales, and the International Chorus Championship of the Barbershop Harmony Society in 2010, 2015, and 2019. The Westminster Chorus has also toured throughout the United States and several countries, including Canada, New Zealand, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Justin has led other award-winning barbershop ensembles, including The Masters of Harmony and the Big Apple Chorus. He is thrilled to turn his attention to Vocal Summit now.

Justin has been a high school choral music teacher for over 10 years, and his high school choirs were consistently highly rated. Justin graduated in June with a Masters of Music in Conducting from Portland State University. He is now the choral director at McNary High School in the Salem-Keizer, OR, district.

Justin is active with ACDA, NAfME, and the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS).  He has led Honor Choirs, Masterclasses, and Clinics in various capacities for these organizations. In addition, he has been on the faculty of Harmony University and was a Certified Music Judge for the BHS. Justin has a Choral Publishing Series with National Music Publishers and has had articles published in several publications, including most recently, The Choral Conductors Companion, compiled and edited by Brian J. Winnie.
