New ACWC Journal Editor

We welcome Fiona Evison as ACWC's New Journal Editor starting in August, 2019.

Fiona Evison (b. 1965) lives in the beautiful and inspiring rural Grey-Bruce area of Ontario. She was born into a musical Scottish family who immigrated to Canada when she was a child. Music has always played an important part of her life, and she finds great satisfaction in improvising, arranging, and composition. Her graduate research into the composer’s role in community music-making resulted in an international study that affirms the special place of community composers.

Fiona especially enjoys tailoring pieces to the needs of the musicians performing her work, regardless of ability, and sharing interesting background information and ideas that led to the composition. Throughout her musical career, she has directed and accompanied ensembles of all ages, as well as performing on piano, voice, flute, organ, handbells and percussion. She is accompanist for the Oh Sing! Community Choir, and the Director of Music at Central Westside United Church. As a frequent guest musician, she enjoys composing unique and meaningful pieces that incorporate local musicians.
