Director Zach Groeblinghoff is a native of O’Fallon, Missouri (near St. Louis). He studied under Dr. Brad Holmes at Millikin University and received his B.A. in Music Education with a Vocal Emphasis in 2013. Since then, he has taught music and choir at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, as well as been involved in community choirs from a very early age.

Zach began teaching in 2013, and moved to Idaho in 2017. He currently directs choirs at Meridian High School. Zach became the Artistic Director of the Boise Chordsmen in March of 2020. He worked on rebuilding the chorus through the pandemic and brags of a 35+ member chorus today. He has been on the faculty at Harmony College Northwest since the summer of 2024, where he shares his passion for vocal music and barbershop harmony with singers from across the region.

His performance experience includes tours with the Millikin University Choir to England, Ireland, and Scotland (2011), performances at the ACDA Convention in Chicago (2011), and Carnegie Hall (2012). In 2013, he was invited to sing at the Annual Mozart Festival in the Salzburg Dom in Austria. He also performed as part of the festival chorus for World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland (2016) and sang at the Convocation of Catholic Leaders in Orlando, Florida (2017).

Zach has contributed to multiple recordings: He performed with the Millikin University Choir on How Sweet the Sound (2012), appeared as a duetist and chamber choir member on Tudor Voices’ In a Vale of Tears (2012), and served as chorus member and co-director on two 2020 releases from the Dominican Liturgical Center: Soul of Christ and Eva / Ave.

Being an avid lover of music and a direct witness to the power of music on others and himself, his goal is to provide entertainment, joy, education, love, and motivation to all with whom he interacts.
