Pacific Masterworks Chorus is honored to have a world-renowned musical and artistic director, Dr. Greg Lyne. Everywhere he teaches and directs, Dr. Lyne brings musical knowledge, a passion for excellence, and a love for the a cappella style. Dr. Lyne works full-time as a coach for choruses and quartets throughout the country and as a clinician for musical ensembles of all types.

Dr. Lyne is also the Musical Director of Voices in Harmony, northern California’s premier mens a cappella chorus. San Jose-based Voices in Harmony is a competitive top 10 chorus in the Barbershop Harmony Society. Since 2006, he has directed the chorus to the Far Western District Chorus Championship and third place international medal.

Dr. Lyne previously served as Director of Music Education and Services for the Barbershop Harmony Society in Kenosha, Wisconsin. In this capacity, he served the music education programs of the 30,000 member Society, the world's largest male singing organization. At the Society, he coordinated the music publishing program, youth outreach activities, contest and judging system, music recordings and the old song library which houses over 750,000 pieces of popular early American sheet music.

Dr. Lyne came to his position with the Society from Arizona State University where he was Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities. He previously served in similar capacities at California State University - Long Beach, DePaul University, Eastern New Mexico University and the University of Washington.

His reputation in choral directing — of all types of music — extends around the world. He has conducted over 300 Festival and All-State Choirs throughout the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii, and in Canada, England, Scotland, and Russia. In Russia, he presented master classes at the St. Petersburg Conservatory of Music to European musicians. In fact, through his musical work in Russia, Greg is the only American listed in the Russian version of “Who's Who!” He has also served as guest conductor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

A published arranger and composer, Dr. Lyne is a member of a number of organizations, including the American Choral Directors Association and the Music Educators National Conference. He was recognized by the Music Educators National Conference for his “contributions and service to Music Education” and was awarded the Barbershop Harmony Society's Joe Liles Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010. He is listed in the International Who's Who in Classical Music and is the author/producer of a number of articles, workbooks and educational videotapes.

Dr. Lyne holds a doctorate in choral conducting from the University of Northern Colorado.
