headline: Singing Hoosiers director dies in Bloomington

story: Professor of Music and director of the IU Singing Hoosiers Steve Zegree died Saturday in Bloomington. Zegree was 61 years old, according to a press release from the Jacobs School of Music.

Zegree was born May 5, 1953 in Vancouver, Wash., according to the press release. He joined IU’s music program as a faculty member in August 2012, which is the same year he was inducted into the Downbeat Jazz Education Hall of Fame.

He directed the Singing Hoosiers and the Vocal Jazz Ensemble at the music school, according to the press release.

“It’s a huge loss for the Jacobs School and for the University as a whole,” IU spokesman Mark Land said. “We join all of our colleagues around the University and around campus mourning his death and send all our very best thoughts out to his family, his friends and his students.”

Zegree is survived by his wife, Laurie Hofmann, his daughter, Sarah Zegree, his son, Nat Zegree, and his sister, Joan Zegree.

The family asks that gifts be given to the Steve Zegree Vocal Jazz Scholarship fund in his honor. The scholarship will benefit graduates and undergraduates at the music school and vocal jazz program. Funds can be made out to the IU Foundation and mailed to P.O. Box 500, Bloomington, IN 47402.
