When ArtsFund sat down on Zoom with Masterworks Choral Ensemble’s (MCE) Artistic Director Ben Luedcke, Board President Roslyn Dailey, and Marketing & Development Chair Elise Marshall, they were just a few hours out from their first rehearsal of the season and brimming with enthusiastic energy. Although MCE was established in 1981, all three (and, in fact, most of the leadership team) are relatively new to the organization: Roslyn joined in 2018, Elise in 2022, and Ben in 2023. Of their 110 current members, approximately 40% have found their way to MCE over the last two years, a pandemic ramification which Roslyn says has been a silver lining to a difficult time: “It’s ended up reinvigorating things for us in some surprising ways.”
