Elisa Kovacs, of Ridgefield, Conn., was awarded the Sister M. Clare Kelley Medal for Excellence in Music, founded in memory of Sister M. Clare Kelley by her former music students, at Marywood University’s 2023 commencement ceremony.
The daughter of Marion Kovacs and Robert Kovacs, she graduated from Ridgefield High School and received a bachelor of music degree in music therapy from Marywood University.
During her Marywood years, Ms. Kovacs, a violinist, was secretary for our Music Therapy Club for two years and enjoyed getting involved in club activities. She took advantage of opportunities to make more music, especially in pit orchestras and other music ensembles, such as the Marywood Chamber Singers.
Outside of Marywood, Ms. Kovacs focuses her time on making music and working towards becoming a certified Music Therapist, but she also enjoys yoga, baking, and cooking, as well as spending time with loved ones.
