Ingy Lotfy, founder of Artopia Art Center, Mezzo-Soprano, vocal coach, music teacher and certified choirmaster and choir conductor

In February 2020, right before the spread of Corona virus, Ingy was admitted by exception, as the only non-German participant, to study choral conducting at the Federal Academy for Musical Education, Germany.

As a mother of two, it was quite a challenge. Alongside her studies, she has three main jobs. She is the director of her art center, Artopia, a music teacher and children choir leader at the German school of Alexandria, and a private vocal coach.

With the completion of her studies and graduation in June 2023, lngy became a certified choir leader and conductor, the first Egyptian female to obtain this degree from the Federal Academy for Musical Education in Germany.

Upon her return from Germany, she led the children choir of the German School in Alexandria in two concerts of the German Egyptian Forum with a Youth Jazz Band from Nürtingen, Germany at the AUC Ewart Hall in Cairo and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
