AMC Members-in-the-Spotlight
Hilda Black with the esteemed conductor/composer, Dr. Mack Wilberg
Hilda is a transplant from New Orleans and she obtained a PhD in Computational Analysis and Modeling from Louisiana Tech. She currently works as a course instructor for Western Governors University, supporting online mathematics and statistics courses. She epitomizes the success of wedding music and math: the dynamic duo.
Hilda explains,
“Our whole family has enjoyed traveling to Europe with AMC in 2015 (Germany/Austria/Budapest) and 2019 (Barcelona/Paris). Love of music is something I share with my son who plays the piano and the violin. During our last trip, my son was 'unstoppable' and joined the musical/educational experience. He assisted our wonder Dr. Jane as a page-turner and by adjusting stops on some very old organs at our concert venues.”
Hilda further relates:
“AMC provides me an opportunity to make and share music with others. I enjoy the amazing singing moments when a particular piece comes together - singers, instruments, direction - and all is in harmony. Working together to produce a wonderful song is one of the most rewarding parts of being in AMC.”
“Singing with AMC has helped me grow musically and provides me time each week for what I feel is self-care or music therapy.”
Kudos to Hilda for her loyal service to AMC.
