Melanie Sorgi
I have been the Orchestra Director at Lopez Middle School since it opened in 2007. Prior to coming to Lopez, I was the orchestra director at Driscoll MS and before that, at Garner MS. I started playing the violin when I was eight years old and studied privately through college. I received my bachelor's degree in Music Education from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, and moved to San Antonio in 1982.
Currently I am a member of Texas Music Educators Association, Texas Orchestra Directors Association, and Mu Phi Omicron. I am also serving on the Orchestra UIL PML Committee.
I'm married to Craig Sorgi, a member of the 1st violin section of the San Antonio Symphony. We have two children: Colin is a violist in the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and is married to Jaclyn, who teaches violin/viola at the Peabody Preparatory School. Colin and Jackie have a two year old - our granddaughter, Clara. Cameron is a compositor at a visual effects studio in Los Angeles. His name is in the credits for many Marvel movies! Cameron is engaged to Jenna, who works in the production department for a video game company. We have two fur babies; a 4 year old golden retriever named Bravo and a cat, Padma. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, reading, and watching TV.
