Kasia Paciorkowska Holmes, grand and grand granddaughter of the music directors/organists has the music encoded in her DNA. Shas enjoyed a broad spectrum career in music education and performance, holding positions as Associate Conductor/Accompanist of the Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Principal Flute of the Silesian Orchestra, and Collaborative Pianist. As a child, Kasia was selected for the rare opportunity to complete her primary and secondary education at a full-time music conservatory. She began music studies at Poland’s elite Stanislaw Moniuszko Music School as a piano major at the age of seven. After graduating with a Music Diploma in Performance from Moniuszko, Kasia then earned a Master’s Degree in Music Education and Conducting from the Academy of Music and Silesian University in Poland. She holds a second Master’s Degree in Flute Performance from the Lynn Conservatory of Music in Boca Raton, Florida.

Other career highlights include serving as Music Program Director for Invest Collegiate Imagine Charter School and as a collaborative pianist at Mars Hill University, in NC. She served as Choir and Orchestra Director for one of the first El Sistema-inspired programs in the United States, “Soundscapes” of Hampton Roads, Virginia. This was a revolutionary program that taught transformational life skills through the vehicle of music for an underserved demographic. Currently, Kasia enjoys teaching music locally and serves as Music Director for Providence Presbyterian Church in Parker, CO. Kasia is excited and blessed to continue her family’s musical ancestry. In her free time, she loves to spend time with her family and animals out in nature.
