Feature Interview: Allison Girvan

Allison is a Nelson based choral conductor, music and theatre educator and versatile vocalist.  She has been featured on albums and in concerts with Canadian Tenor John McDermott and released 2 solo recordings in collaboration with her husband, composer Don Macdonald.  She shares her musical story from the earliest days playing the clarinet, through over 2 decades of theatrical musical direction and up until the present where she is the director of numerous Nelson youth choirs and still stunning audiences with her own vocal performances.  www.allisongirvan.com 

Tyler James

Tyler is a member of the Corazon Choir under Allison Girvan and in recent years has been following in the footsteps of his conductor and is finding a path for himself in choral direction and musical theatre.  Oh, yes... and there's a punk band in there too!
