KIRSTIE LISK-MCCALLUM

OPERATIONS manager

Kirstie Lisk-McCallum is a choral conductor, licensed real estate agent, and proud graduate of the University of Houston, where she earned both her Master of Music in Choral Conducting (‘25) and her Bachelor’s degree in Music Education (‘19) as a Terry Foundation Scholar.

After completing her bachelor’s degree, she spent four years as a choir director at Langham Creek High School in CFISD, before returning to graduate school at UH for her Master's. During that time, she served as Director of the Damenchor with the Houston Saengerbund, a German singing society based in the Heights. Now, she is delighted to work for the Houston Chamber Choir in the Operations Manager role while continuing her real estate career in her spare time.

As a performer, Kirstie has sung with the University of Houston’s Concert Chorale at TMEA (2016–2017), ACDA and NCCO (2017), the Béla Bartók International Choral Competition in Hungary (2018), and the Ave Verum Choral Competition in Austria (2024), where the ensemble was awarded the Grand Prix at each international competition. She currently sings with local choir ensembles, Suono Chamber Choir and Cantare Houston.

In her free time, Kirstie loves a good book, listening to great music, and spending quality time with her wife, Laura, and their dogs, Tally and Frodo.
