Mr. Carrillo is excited to be teaching at Friendswood High School this year.
He graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Houston's Moores School of
Music. While at UH, Mr. Carrillo served as a Tenor Section Leader and Student
Director for the MSM Concert Choral, the premier undergraduate choir. While
holding this position, Mr. Carrillo helped prepare the ensemble for their
Honor Choir performance for the Texas Music Educators Association Convention
in 2005 and the American Choral Directors Association in 2007. In addition to
singing, Mr. Carrillo was the founding director of Floreat, the newest choral
ensemble at the Moores School of Music. This gave him the honor of being the
only undergraduate director of any ensemble within the music school.
Currently, Mr. Carrillo sings professionally with the Houston Chamber Choir
and will be joining them in this upcoming season. During the summer of 2003,
Mr. Carrillo performed with Light Opera Oklahoma in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He also
made his Wortham Theatre debut singing in a small ensemble specializing in the
madrigals of Carlo Gesualdo as a part of Da Camera Houston's 2005 Concert
Series also featuring the Brentano String Quartet. He has also had the
privilege singing in various venues across the city singing with the
Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart Schola Cantorum and the Archdiocesan
Choir of Galveston-Houston. His solo experience includes W.A. Mozart's
Vesperae solennes de Confessore, Pergolesi's Magnificat, and Britten's Hymn to
St. Cecilia.
Mr. Carrillo is a member of the Texas Music Educators Association, Texas
Choral Directors Association, American Choral Directors Association and Phi
Kappa Lambda National Music Honor Society.
Currently, Mr. Carrillo resides in Webster, TX, is very involved with his
church, and is a huge Spurs and UH Cougar Football fan. When not singing, he
enjoys movies, board games, and reading.
Students will learn concepts of vocal and choral technique, music theory,
sight-reading, music history, and will be provided opportunities for creative
self-expression through performance of a wide variety of choral literature.
