Choirs
I am the founder and Artistic Director of SING THE NORTH, a global family of four in-person and virtual recording choirs. Founded in 2020, STN has a membership of over 800 people worldwide.
SING THE NORTH is our flagship virtual recording choir, while STN ICE is my virtual recording chamber choir for contemporary Canadian choral music; STN Fridays runs monthly virtual kitchen parties, showcasing folk musicians from across Canada and around the world.
The STN Summer Festival Chorus is a 100-voice choir that meets in person for a week in July, performing a major work with orchestra each summer.
I am in my third season as Music Director of the Newcombe Singers, a non-auditioned but musically ambitious community choir, based in Victoria, BC, who are known equally for their friendliness and for their unusual and important concert programming.
From July 2024, I am serving as Interim Artistic Director of Ensemble Laude, an award-winning auditioned treble choir, founded by Dr Elizabeth MacIsaac in Victoria, BC.
I’m in my first year as Artistic Director of Via Choralis, an established SATB community choir that sings classical and contemporary music on the Saanich Peninsula, rehearsing and performing in Sidney, BC.
I also assist with the conducting of the German-speaking Victoria Harmony Choir, which is led by Music Director, Grant Harville. In Fall 2024, I will be standing in for Peter Butterfield with the Victoria Philharmonic Choir while their director, Peter Butterfield, is on a sabbatical.
Together with my colleague, Music Director Daniel Taylor, I artistic direct the One World Baroque Virtual Orchestra & Chorus, which ran global virtual recording projects for more than 300 singers from 2020 to 2022.
