OUR DIRECTOR

The Toronto Accolades wish to thank Wendy Shibata for her many years of dedication to our chorus. Wendy became our director 20 years ago, after being a member of the chorus for an additional 10 years before that..  Through her years as director, she worked hard and took every educational opportunity to add to her directing skills.  She passed her knowledge on to the chorus, and brought us to a level at which we have been consistently qualifying for Internationals for many years.

Unfortunately, Wendy's life has taken many turns, and she is no longer able to serve as our director.  We will miss her enormously in that capacity; however, we are happy that she is continuing her close ties to the chorus by remaining a member.  Meanwhile, we are open to any interested applicants who might consider taking on the position of director with the Toronto Accolades.  

The chorus is continuing to meet each week on ZOOM to receive coaching from some of barbershop's top talent, rehearse repertoire, discuss singing techniques, and just connect with each other and socialize.  We are a friendly, welcoming group, and encourage anyone who is interested to check us out by joining one of our Thursday evening ZOOM meetings.
