Here you can learn a little about each of the Merrie Court Singers:

Jan Ford — Soprano and Member Emerita — Jan was the guiding force behind the formation of the Merrie Court Singers. Along with Gary Sartor, she assembled the majority of their repertoire. She firmly believes that the reason that the group has remained active for more than 25 years is that they never bought "team tee-shirts." In "real life," Jan works as a massage therapist.

Kathy Feinstein — Soprano — Kathy has been with the group since 1984. She heard about MCS from a founding member who worked as a librarian near Kathy's school in the Edgewood School District. She joined along with her husband, Steve. An award-winning actress, Kathy is also a member of The Tim and Bob Show, a San Antonio-based rock-n-roll band. When not entertaining audiences on-stage, Kathy works as an education testing professional with Pearson San Antonio.

Lindsay Kutac — Soprano — Lindsay was literally born into the group. When she joined in 2008, Lindsay became MCS’s newest member. Since the group rehearses in her family’s living room, she was exposed to the group’s repertoire long before she could walk. Although a bit shy, Lindsay says the best thing about being in the group is performing. When not charming audiences, Lindsay attends Thousand Oaks Elementary School.

Carole Asbury — Alto — Carole is both an early and recent member of Merrie Court Singers. She was one of the members of the SA Early Dance Guild to join in 1984, but left MCS when her family moved to Houston. She returned to San Antonio many years later, and, like a plot twist in a play, found herself cast in a theatrical production with Kathy. She rejoined the group in 2007. Carole describes the group as "completely accepting and loving people who love singing as much as I do." Carole works as a school librarian.

Meg Kutac — Alto — A long-time friend of MCS, Meg finally joined the group in 1997 after "Kathy invited me." Meg is very active in church matters, in support of her husband’s educational efforts, and in raising her children. The group provides her with "camaraderie, connection, and sharing the gift of music with others." Despite the fact that her calendar is filled to overflowing, Meg is responsible for promoting the group, and works full-time as a physical therapist.

Steve Feinstein — Tenor — Steve joined the group in 1984 and, by the time he had completed his first Christmas season, his hardest work was behind him. Coming from a non-Christian background, he was unfamiliar with any of the group’s Christmas repertoire, and he had to learn everything from scratch! A pitch-pipe virtuoso with MCS, Steve is also a founding member of The Tim and Bob Show. He is justifiably proud of his church work facilitating youth and young adult groups. Steve is a CPA, and is CFO of Conceptual Mind Works, Inc.

Gary Sartor — Baritone — Gary is the group’s longest-serving active member, and led the influx of talent to the group from the San Antonio Early Dance Guild. MCS’s historian, costumer, and the designer of the group’s logo, Gary is also responsible for maintaining and expanding the group’s repertoire. Another award-winning actor and dancer, Gary is also an active member of the Alamo City Men’s Chorale. Decembers can be hectic for Gary. In addition to a full calendar of singing, he is usually cast as Herr Drosselmeier in a local ballet production of The Nutcracker. Gary makes his living as a veterinarian.

Karl Kutac — Bass — Karl followed his wife Meg into MCS in 1999, much to the relief and joy of the rest of the singers. Not only do Karl’s vocals make the group’s sound fuller and stronger, he also provides the tempo for each song. Along with Meg, he hosts the weekly meetings of the group, and is the person primarily responsible for booking. Trained in computer programming and system administration, Karl is currently embarking on a second career as a nurse.
