Irma-Louise Wright has taught studio violin and voice, lectured in pedagogy and music appreciation, conducted and performed internationally for over 30 years.  Coming from a musical family, becoming a professional musician was almost inevitable.  After her tenure at the University of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Irma came to the US to further her studies: first to Montana State University where she graduated with a Masters of Education and Music Performance, and then at Florida State University, earning the Doctorate of Music Performance.  She was the first music doctoral candidate to be awarded the prestigious FSU Academic Fellowship (2 years) as well as the FUS Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship (one year). After living and working in New York and New Jersey, raising their family in Summit, NJ.,  Irma and her husband, Neil moved to back to Florida, settling in St. Petersburg. She held the position of Director of Music Ministry at Forest Hills Presbyterian Church for the past eight years, retiring this past August.  Building a vibrant church music ministry with choir, bells, wind ensemble and chamber orchestra was a highlight in her career and she is excited and grateful to begin her music ministry here at Maximo Presbyterian Church.
