Connie Manwaring

was born and raised in Germany, where she received her music training and earned a degree in upper secondary education from the Liszt Academy in Weimar. Before moving to the United States in 1995, she lived in England and performed as an accompanist in choral events throughout Yorkshire. She completed a master's degree in MusicMedicine at BYU, researching the impact of music on the recovery and well-being of children undergoing surgery.

From a very young age, she has been actively singing and working with choirs. She was a member of the Freiberg Cathedral Choir and the Weimar Franz Liszt Chamber Choir. In Utah, she enjoyed singing with the BYU Concert Choir, the Utah Baroque Choir, and several other local ensembles. For over 30 years, she has taught piano in her private studio and conducted community choirs. In 2017, she instigated the Nebo Holiday Chorus & Orchestra and has been actively involved in its management and growth. NHCO is dear to her heart since it combines music, charity, and fellowship, aiming to enrich and uplift local communities. She currently lives in Spanish Fork with her family.
