During Covid lockdown, when the performing world shut down, Michael began composing, creating several new works for choir. This past year, he was recognized as an emerging composer of note with several world premieres and some very exciting workshop opportunities with Canada’s premiere choral ensembles including The Vancouver Chamber Choir, The Elmer Iseler Singers, Toronto Children’s Chorus, ELEKTRA Treble-Voice Choir and The Victoria Scholars Men’s Choral Ensemble, among others.
Upcoming are premieres by organist and choirmaster, Jonathan Oldengarm and the Metropolitan United Church Choir, Cheryll Chung and the Cantabile Chamber Singers and Mitchell Pady and CHROMA Vocal Ensemble, among others.
