The Rheinland-Pfalz Inter-national Choir approved a new director at its general membership meeting Jan. 16. Sam Alexander replaces Frau Irmela Knoll-Kliewer.

He directed the music program at Kaiserslautern American High School for 21 years, the Department of Defense Dependents School–Europe Honor Chorus for 25 years, and the vocal program at Ramstein American High School for two years.
