Mary Etherton is a certified musician who has been in our area for about 10 years.  Upon arriving in Southwest Louisiana, Mary went right to work sharing her talents as a piano instructor for Swicegood Music. A gifted accompanist, she soon began accompanying local high school choirs and McNeese Music students. Still today, she manages to share her talents with students and teachers in these areas.  Mary also serves as pianist for Maplewood First Baptist Church and teaches private piano.  The Louisiana Choral Foundation Masterworks Chorale is grateful for Mary accompanying us this season.
