Josie Burgess is the Associate Artistic Director of the Cantilon Choral program and is a long-time choral singer and educator.
Josie earned a Bachelor of Education degree (elementary focus) and a Bachelor of Music degree (voice major) from the University of Alberta.
Josie's ability to work with varied levels of musical experience is evident in her work with both school and community choirs involving K-12 students in a variety of educational settings.
After teaching senior high school for the past eight years, Josie will assume a new position as an early childhood music specialist with Edmonton Catholic Schools, beginning in September 2008.
Josie is in demand as a vocal coach, workshop clinician and adjudicator and is a past board member of the Alberta Choral Federation.
As a certified yoga instructor, Josie has been inspired to explore the relationship between yoga, singing and choral conducting.
Josie's true passion lies in her desire to nurture and support young voices as they develop and grow musically and artistically.
It is with sincerity and honour that she works to enrich the lives of young singers through the beauty and wonder of music.
When she is not involved in all things choral and yogi, Josie enjoys cooking, traveling and walking her dog.
