We all want to wish a big Happy Birthday to our Executive Director the endlessly charismatic Christopher Dunham! This organization wouldn’t be possible without all of his hard work and enthusiasm keeping us going.

When he isn’t running meetings, getting all our administrative ducks in a row or gracing us with a tune at one of our shows he’s dazzling the concert stage with his sultry baritone voice across North America and Europe! Catch him next month singing the titular character (Figaro) in Rossini’s Barber of Seville with Southern Ontario Lyric Opera on October 3rd and in Opera Atelier’s production of The Descent of Orpheus singing Tantale!

Our patrons and volunteers are quintessential to creating our unique programming and we are thrilled you came out to show us so much love and support!

Happy Pride!
We can’t wait to see you at our next show!
