-----
Shawn Muench is a pianist and percussionist living in Eau Claire, WI. Following teaching licensure at UWEC he worked a blended resume of teaching, recording, low voltage, IT, and settled into a collaborative piano career focused on playing art song with vocalists.
At the college he fulfills the accompanying needs of over 40 students a semester, and plays for operas, workshops, voice recitals, instrumental recitals, composition recitals, juries, diction/lit classes, and various auditions at the college.
He serves as accompanist at the Unitarian Universalist congregation in Eau Claire.
When not accompanying he's found contributing to recordings with Novemthree, recording original music, or playing percussion/piano in CVSO, ECCO, or Red Cedar Symphony, where he performed the Sejourne Vibraphone Concerto as a competition winner.
Outside of music Shawn studies philosophy, explores comparative religion, and reads novels.
