This year, Bloor Street United is leaping off the regular lectionary path and exploring the entire bible from cover to cover. A highlight this fall will be a concert performance of CPE Bach's oratorio on the Old Testament experience of the Israelites in the Wilderness (Die Israeliten in der Wüste). It will certainly mark an adventure into unknown regions for me, as I will be singing the second soprano in the piece. Here's to hoping for Baroque pitch!

UPDATED DETAILS: Show 7:30 pm Saturday November 29th 2014. Tickets $20/$15, available in from me and/or at the door.

Happy Canada Day, All!

I've celebrated by adding some new content to my Contact page. There on the new dropdown menus, you'll find more detailed information about my services as a performer and as a pedagogue. Here's a quick sneak peak...

As a vocal teacher, Michelle has instructed students from ages eight to eighty in the fundamentals of classical western vocal technique.  Michelle bases her teaching upon the Royal Conservatory of Music’s (RCM) vocal program.  She also draws upon her east-coast musical heritage, introducing Newfoundland and  British Isle’s folk music selections to her lessons.

Having a great time singing in the back-up chorus for singer/songwriter/performance artists Cynthia Hopkin's Toronto premiere of her original work This Clement World. 

The show is part of the Carbon 14: Climate is Culture series in Toronto, and is being hosted by The Theatre Centre.

Performances start this Thursday!

So, it's that time of year again: Faculty Favourites time!

Please save the date for our annual Fall fundraising concert in support of the United Way Toronto. Admission is pay-what-you-can, with a suggested minimum of $10.

This year, we have a strong vocal component to the concert, and will be featuring solos and duets with our newest faculty member, voice teacher Victoria Medeiros. I'll also be doing a few solos and duets, including the entire set of Leo Broouwer pieces for voice and guitar (one of which is available for listening on my Gallery page).

For those who'd like to RSVP, please see

So, after recuperating from an attack of the summer cold, we're ready to start tonight, 7:30 pm at Array Music. To that end, check out this great promo piece which appeared on Musical Toronto today - yay Larissa!
