Stephenie Santilli

A product of the Charlotte music scene, Stephenie Santilli teaches voice, piano, and general K-3 music with Arts+. Stephenie holds a Bachelor of Arts in church music from Wingate University where she was a May 2021 graduate. She grew up in Charlotte and has been actively singing in Charlotte choirs since 2013. During her middle and high school years at Northwest School of the Arts, she was part of the Charlotte Choir School, a member of VOX, attended multiple choral festivals, performed multiple masterworks such as Handel's Messiah and Mendelssohn's Elijah, and was an active participant of Royal School of Church Music in America (RSCMA) training courses.

Stephenie has previously been on the Arts+ staff as the Charlotte Youth Choir Musicianship Intern during her junior year of college. Her musical mentors include Ben Outen, Aaron Goen, Stephanie Madsen, Aaron Lafrienere, and David Tang.

After graduating, Stephenie found herself right back in the Charlotte music scene. When not teaching with Arts+, she is the Children's and Youth Music Director at Sharon Presbyterian Church, on staff with national RSCMA courses, and still singing with VOX.

When not making glorious music, she can be found painting and playing board games with her family, her partner Jacob, and cats Simon and Walter.
