Meet Our 2026 Community Messiah Conductor -Scott Nauman
Conductor, instrumentalist, vocalist, Scott Nauman is a lover of the arts. As conductor of the Parker Chorale, Scott has helped the group share the joy of music. Scott Nauman hails from Minnesota where he grew up attending concerts performed at St. Olaf College, located just ten minutes from the farm on which he was raised. Having received his musical training at the University of Northwestern (Minnesota) in conducting, vocal, trumpet and percussion performance and church music, Scott started as a studio singer both in Minneapolis and Denver. One of his greatest joys was performing as a backup singer with Celine Dion at Red Rocks. His involvement in studio and backup singing led to an interest in the recording industry and he worked as a sound engineer/producer for numerous Christian artists. Influenced by rich choral music throughout his childhood and younger years, he began directing choirs, vocal ensembles, big bands and orchestras at the age of twenty one and has performed in all fifty states and twenty countries. For many years, Scott conducted the in-house orchestra at the “Praise in the Rockies” music seminar in Estes Park directing for artists such as Steve Green, Dino Kartsonakis, Sheila Walsh, Wintley Phipps, Michael Card, Michael W. Smith and Sandi Patty. Over the years, Scott has continued his musical career by serving in some of the largest churches in Minnesota and, since 1985, Colorado. He is grateful for the influence he has received from choral conductors such as Jerry Rubino, Mark Hayes, Gary Bonner, Janet Vlachos and Dale Warland. They have each impacted and shaped his musical leadership. So when introduced in February 2015 to the opportunity to serve as the assistant conductor of the Parker Chorale under Paul Smith, Scott replied, “it was (and is) a privilege to glean from yet another wonderful and gifted choral conductor such as Paul”. Fun facts: Scott enjoys spending time with people from his Fellowship Family, flying his (or anyone else’s) airplane, motorcycling and fishing as well as downhill skiing with his wife Lynn.
