Erica Kyree Glenn has led choirs at Brigham Young University - Hawaii (current), Dean College, and Arizona State University. She has also served as Chorus Master for ASU School of Music operas and has taught Beginning Conducting and private lessons in voice, piano, and composition. She is the founder of Virtual Choir Conductor and the International Virtual Children's Choir.

Erica is a current Fulbright Scholar. In 2020, she was named a Conducting Fellow in the Cortona Sessions for New Music, attended the Kodaly Music Institute, and was hired by the Kennedy Center to generate video content as a Music Teaching Artist. She also received a 2020-21 Fulbright Grant to Ukraine and a $25,000 American Councils Grant. In 2019, Erica received ASU's GPSA Teaching Excellence Award, a Department of State Title VIII Grant for Eastern European Research and Training, and full funding to guest conduct the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra in workshop. Erica holds a BM and MM in Music Theory and Composition as well as an Ed.M. in The Arts in Education from Harvard, where she conducted empirical research under Dr. Howard Gardner and presented at the Harvard Arts in Education Conference. In 2015, Erica received a grant to study the healing effects of Dalcroze Eurhythmics on Russian orphans with Reactive Attachment Disorder and presented an interest session at the 2016 Western Division ACDA Conference.

Erica also spent three years developing an innovative and collaborative performing arts department at the American International School of Utah as the founding Performing Arts Director. Her choirs consistently received superior markings at state festivals, took first in statewide competitions, and were featured in PBS specials and concerts alongside national icons. As a composer and arranger, Erica has worked with Charles Strouse, Richard Maltby, Jason Robert Brown, and the music directors of several Broadway shows. Her choral compositions have been commissioned by choirs across America, and her first opera won VocalWorks' International Opera-in-a-Month Competition. Her most recent musical received both a developmental reading at the 2012 New York Musical Theater Festival and a 2014 world premiere at the American Repertory Theater. Erica currently publishes with LazyBee Scripts, and her shows have been performed throughout the US, the UK, and as far away as Germany, Australia, and Hong Kong.

Current research interests include the cognitive science behind audience perception of conducting gesture and the lost history and music of the early 20th century Ukrainian composer Stefania Turkewich.
