Hoerchler (pictured), who earned her bachelor of music degree in composition from Mizzou in 2017, is a composer, vocalist, and musical director with a particular interest in musical theater.

She will begin work in September on a master of fine arts degree from New York University’s Graduate Musical Theatre Writing program.
