Creative Team

Steve Kalke is excited to join Revels Houston as Music Director and is looking forward to a great season. He serves as the Head Choir Director at McMeans Junior High School in Katy ISD. He has held that position for 14 years. He is also the Assistant Choral Director of the Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra. His choirs have consistently earned both local and national attention including having been selected twice for the Music for All National Choir festival and twice won the Mark of Excellence Nation Choir Honors.

Steve holds a Masters Degree in Choral Conducting from the University of Houston and has taught students of all ages for the past 40 years. Additionally, he has taught private vocal and piano lessons, and some of his students have gone on to professional singing careers.  Steve is the proud father of three children and one grandchild, and the lucky husband of his wife, Angela.
