Mike Wenck
Before joining Pacificaires/Cedar Center Mike sang in school choirs until the 10th grade when he switched to a vocational school that didn’t offer music. After high school, Mike joined the navy and retired from the Naval Reserve. During that time he traveled, he married (1982), received a BS degree in Computer Information Systems, and has two beautiful daughters. He is also blessed with 3 wonderful granddaughters.
Mike joined Pacificaires and Cedar Center Choir after learning about them through a member of the choir, Jane Hoey in 2018 and he joined both groups. He also sings with NOTEables, and is part of a small quartet known as the Unforgetables. Singing with the choirs has rekindled his joy of singing. He looks forward to many years of wonderful music with his fellow singers.

Ellie attributes her musical growth and education to the many music directors, pianists, fellow singers, and music enthusiasts she encountered over the past four decades. In 2004, Ellie joined the Pacificaires and Cedar Center Chorus, and during the pandemic, the NOTEables. She actively contributed to the choirs by creating the first website, Eunice Williams conducts (now closed), managing publicity efforts, and creating PowerPoint presentations for concerts. Her notables performances include Handel's Messiah in Portuguese at Teatro Municipal de Sao Paulo in 1976; Handel’s Messiah in English at Lincoln Center in 2012, with our group; our choir exchanges with France and England; and, signing in The Lord of The Rings three-hour movie concert in Singapore in 2013.
