A native of Winona, MN, Duayne graduated from Winona State with a B.A. in Music and English in 1958 and an M.S. in Music Education in 1963. Duayne taught English and was the choir director in Mabel, MN; he was the elementary vocal music supervisor in Virginia, MN; and in the Osseo Area Schools (District 279) he was the Vocal Music Supervisor as well as a vocal music teacher and choral director.

While in Osseo, he helped organize a scholarship fund performing group called the Wastebasket Revue with teachers, administrators, staff and community members in the Osseo Schools. 2017 will mark its 50th year of scholarship fund performance, with over $1,100,000.00 awarded to 802 scholarship recipients over the previous 49 years.

Duayne organized and directed the District 279 Children’s Select Chorus from 1967 to his retirement in 1993. He re-ceived the Superintendent’s Award for “Outstanding Achievement and Dedication to Education” as well as the Brooklyn Park Lions’ award for “Citizen of the Year.” He has been named to the Minnesota Music Educators Hall of Fame.

DUAYNE MALEWICKI, NSCC DIRECTOR

The North Suburban Concert Chorale (NSCC) performs with the North Suburban Concert Band (NSCB) annually at its Christmas Concerts. It was originally organized in 1989 by then-NSCB-director Michael Halstenson. Bruce Phelps, Anoka High School choir director, took over the baton for several years. He was followed by the current director, Duayne Malewicki.

The Chorale attracts singers, ranging from high school age to senior citizens, from church and community choirs in the north and west suburbs. The non-auditioned group is currently limited to 118 singers. The Chorale rehearses for seven weeks prior to these performances.
