Director - Fred Mooij

Getting Fred to write a bio is akin to pulling hen's teeth. Suffice to say that this self-described "arm-waver" is passionate about singing barbershop harmony and has done so for decades. He was a member of our predecessor Pine Ridge Chorus and sang tenor with Ontario District 1994 Novice Quartet Champions "Ganaraska Rascals".

Although a newcomer to Barbershop music, John has an extensive musical background, having studied for many years at the Royal Conservatory and U of T's Faculty of Music. 

John considers it a fine honour to be given the position of Assistant Director, especially when teamed up with Fred Mooji as Director, whose Barbershop experience spans decades. "We work well together and I am happy to be able to contribute those bits from my training in the classical world, which might make sense for this delightful kind of music".
