 Dr. Owney cares about two things. He cares about making music and he cares about his students. For 24 years, Greg has lived out the mission of Gustavus through his incredible work with the Gustavus Choir. He has been the epitome of a master teacher. He's highly effective in the classroom, cares deeply for his students and has worked tirelessly to provide the choir with mountaintop musical experiences. He's there in service to the music and I think it's fantastic what he's able to pull out of us. As far as his conducting style itself, I have always really loved it. I think it's very minimalist but he's someone who can do a lot with just the tiniest movement. I hope I've modeled what my values are. I've tried to instill the value of hard work to achieve excellence. I've tried to wear my musical heart on my sleeve.
