Welcome Our New Director of Music
The Wardens are delighted to announce the appointment of Angus Sinclair as St. John's Director of Music. Angus will begin on February 1, 2023.
Angus is a well-known freelance organist, pianist, and composer in the London area, and is currently the Director of Music at Elmwood Avenue Presbyterian Church in London. As an organist and music director, his appointments have included St. Paul's Cathedral, London, Ontario; St. George's Middlesex Centre; and the Blyth Festival Singers.
From 1997 to 2016, Angus served as the accompanist for the Three Cantors. Together this group raised well over $1 million in aid for the Huron Hunger Fund/PWRDF, produced several CD recordings and performed over 250 concerts. In honour of this work, Angus and the Three Cantors received an Honourary Senior Fellowship from Renison College, and an Honourary DD degree from Huron University College.
Angus holds an Honours B.Mus. in organ performance from Wilfrid Laurier University (1981). We look forward to welcoming him to St. John's and to making music together.
A very grateful thank you to the Search Committee (Mohan Thomas, chair, James Brown, Danny Chirilenco, Corinne Dutton and Preston Parsons) for their dedicated work in the selection process.
We would also like to offer our sincere thanks to Ken Hull for serving as Interim Director of Music over the past several months, and to Corinne Dutton and Peter Nikiforuk for their contributions to the music and worship at St. John's during this time.
