Meet the Director of Choral Activities

Mr. Adrian Camano, Director of Choral Activities and Vocal Music Teacher, is in his third year of leading the choral program at Delaware Valley Regional High School. He holds a Bachelor of Music Education degree with a concentration in Choral/Vocal Studies from The College of New Jersey, as well as a New Jersey Music Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing. In the future, Mr. Camano plans to pursue graduate studies in both Choral Conducting and Vocal Pedagogy.

Throughout his four years at The College of New Jersey, Mr. Camano was an active choral artist, performing with the elite auditioned ensemble, TCNJ Chorale, in venues such as Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, and Verizon Hall at The Kimmel Center for Performing Arts where he performed with The Philadelphia Orchestra. In addition, Mr. Camano was an active member of his collegiate competitive a cappella group, The Trentones, where he served as President, and competed in the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella in 2019 and 2020 at venues such as The Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware.

Prior to graduating, Mr. Camano completed his student teaching practicum at Cranford High School where he conducted and oversaw 3 different choral ensembles: Concert Choir, Madrigal Choir, and the Treble and Tenor/Bass Choir. Mr. Camano also served as a Conducting Fellow for the distinguished Princeton Girlchoir and Boychoir at Westrick Music Academy under the direction of internationally renowned choral director Dr. Lynnel Joy Jenkins and former director of The American Boychoir, Mr. Fred Meads.  

In the spring of 2023, under Mr. Camano’s leadership, the choral program was afforded a unique opportunity to perform in the This is Me Choral Festival at Lincoln Center for Performing Arts in NYC. Mr. Camano has also been nominated for a Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Award for Outstanding Achievement in Musical Direction. Additionally, his direction has led to nominations for Outstanding Performance By An Orchestra, and Outstanding Performance by a Chorus as well. Mr. Camano looks forward to another successful year at Del Val.
