Hi, my name is Clara and I’m a third-year student studying Strategic Management at McGill. I have sung in choirs for 12 years now and am so grateful to continue doing so with the McGill Choral Society! I’m looking forward to another amazing season! When I’m not singing, some of my hobbies include baking, skiing, and watching baseball.

Hi! I’m Vic. I’m a third-year international student in Education TESL. I started singing in a children’s choir when I was 4, and for 10 years, I had the chance to travel across Europe and the US on tours. So when I arrived here in Quebec, I immediately chose to join this choir! Being part of MCS has been an amazing experience, and I wanted to give back by joining the exec team. I hope to help make this experience enjoyable for everyone!

Hi, I’m Clara, a U2 English literature student at McGill! I’ve been singing in choirs throughout my life, and I was more than happy to become a soprano in McGill’s choral society. As I also play violin, I really enjoy music from all sides and I am very happy to have become a part of the choir’s community 🙂 Apart from singing, violin and books I also do equestrian sports and travel as much as I can!

Hello! My name is Bethany, I’m a first year student in the faculty of arts and science at McGill.

MCS has become my music community here in Montreal and I’m so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful group of people!

Hi! My name is Scarlett, and I’m a first-year clarinet performance student at McGill University. Music has always been my passion, from composing to performing on instruments such as clarinet, piano, flute, oboe, or saxophone. I have sung in choirs for many years and am excited to continue with the McGill Choral Society! Outside of music, I enjoy reading poetry, dancing, and drawing.

Hello, my name is Neil and I am an undergraduate Political Science / International Development student at McGill. I’m from New York City, and I’ve been participating in choirs and singing for my whole life! I’ve always sought places where I could participate in large orchestral / choral pieces, much due to my love of Gustav Mahler, and the McGill Choral Society more than fit the bill. I look forward to singing interesting and exciting pieces with you all!

Hi! My name is Ava, and I am a Second Year student at McGill studying History and Economics. I was part of my high school’s concert choir, and singing has always been something I really enjoy! Outside of singing, I love canoeing and working with kids, especially through my summers at camp. I am very excited to be singing again with the MCS this year!

Hello everyone! My name is Jean-Frédéric Olivier, and I am a Tenor in the McGill Choral Society choir since Spring 2019. I am currently a PhD student in Biochemistry at the McGill Research Center on Complex Traits in Dr. Gros laboratory, but even though my primary curriculum is in science, I love music in all its form, particularly choir singing. When I am not doing research or rehearsals (I am also a member of 2 other amazing choirs, Phoebus and Coeur du Plateau), I usually give my time to a not-for-profit organization, the CDTL, to help integrating young school dropouts into the labor market. Oh! And I love cooking, especially tasty vegetarian recipes.

Hi! My name is Marek Borik and I sing tenor voice. I finished BSc in Computer Science five years ago. I have always loved playing the guitar and singing for myself and my friends, but I wanted to improve my level of singing, so I decided to join a choir. I have been part of MCS since Fall 2022 and been absolutely loving it. My hobbies include travelling, camping, hiking, playing or listening to music, reading and writing poetry… there are so many things to keep me busy! I also wrote, shot and edited several short films since high school and spent 3 years in the film club “The Plumber’s Station McGill”, so I utilize my experience with recording the choir performances for YouTube and live-streaming the rehearsals.

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I recently graduated from McGill with a BSc in Anatomy and Cell Biology. For the past 4 years I was stage manager, then VP, then president of MCS and I am very grateful to still be helping out!! I was part of my high school’s chamber and jazz choir ensembles and was a big musical-theatre kid growing up. Singing is one of my biggest passions and I love being part of the MCS community! I also really enjoy cooking, reading books, and travelling.

Hello! I’m Roufaïda Lamrabet, a Soprano with the McGill Choral Society. In addition to my full-time job, I am a freelance social media manager.
