Reese Suddarth is excited to join the Poco a Poco Summer Music Fest as a 2025 Junior Faculty Intern, bringing her enthusiasm and artistry to the program for the first time. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Reese is currently pursuing a degree in Vocal Performance at Illinois Wesleyan University, where she studies as a mezzo-soprano.

Eager to explore Streator, IL, and connect with fellow musicians, Reese is always ready to jump in and lend a hand wherever needed. Outside of her musical studies, she enjoys playing piano, diving into video games like Animal Crossing and Minecraft, and getting lost in a good book.

Reese is honored to be part of the Poco a Poco community and looks forward to a summer of learning, sharing, and making meaningful connections through music.
