Artistic Director Kameron Kavanaugh founded Sound of Ages in 2016. Under his direction, Sound of Ages has performed in concert venues across Utah; at state, regional, and national conferences of the American Choral Directors Association; and at Carnegie Hall. In addition to being a frequent choral guest conductor and clinician, Kavanaugh has conducted the Utah Symphony Brass. He is also the Director of Choral Programs at Waterford School in Sandy, UT. He has championed early music in the concert hall and classroom and has innovated narrative and other concert forms to help broad audiences connect with the infinite power of the human voice. As a director and educator, Kavanaugh trained with Ronald Staheli, Rosalind Hall, and Andrew Crane at BYU and with Barlow Bradford at the University of Utah. His passion for music is dwarfed only slightly by his passion for ice hockey. He and his wife Liz Hokanson enjoy the home they built in Santaquin, Utah.

The compositions of Andrew Maxfield—hailed as “rhythmically vital…superbly judged…[and] tender” by Fanfare magazine—have been performed throughout the U.S. and Europe, recently by ensembles ranging from The Gesualdo Six and The Choir of Royal Holloway to Salt Lake Symphony and Utah Opera. A recent winner of the King’s Singer’s New Music Prize (Jury Special Commendation), Maxfield collaborates with Sound of Ages as its Composer-in-Residence. Andrew learned his craft at BYU, the EAMA–Nadia Boulanger Institute in Paris, Boston Conservatory at Berklee, and the University of Bristol (UK), via mentorship with Philip Lasser (Juilliard), John Pickard, Jonathan Bailey Holland, and Marti Epstein. He also holds an MBA in Arts Administration from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Andrew lives with his wife Liz Davis Maxfield and their two handsome, high-octane boys (plus a hyper puppy) just downhill from Sundance in Provo, Utah.
