A 2014 Lamar graduate, Levi has served as Associate Director of Music and comes highly recommended by Dr. Jim Fuller. In 2015 he founded the Southeast Texas Vocal Artists, a group of about 35 exceptionally talented volunteers who gather weekly. STVA has been invited to perform at the Texas Choral Directors state convention and also at St. Anthony Basilica. St. Andrew’s will now serve as the home base for this exceptional choir to rehearse.

In addition to his musical accomplishments, Mr. Duncan is an exceptionally pleasant young man. His enthusiasm, sense of purpose, and his expressions of faith in God are infectious. They serve as evidence to why so many people are eager to sing under his direction.
