Our Director of Music and Organist, Stefani Bedin, joined our team in January 2024. She recently completed a Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the University of Toronto. She also holds the Master of Music degree in Organ Performance and the Bachelor of Music degree in Music History and Theory (Honours) with a minor in historical keyboard. Stefani’s academic research examines the impact of the Second Vatican Council on organists and explores the significant role the organ can play in fostering congregations’ active participation in the liturgy. Stefani also teaches organ, piano, and music theory privately, having previously worked as a keyboard harmony course instructor and teaching assistant for theory, history, and music appreciation courses at the University of Toronto. Committed to sharing the organ’s music with diverse audiences, Stefani has given several solo recitals and is a past president of the Royal Canadian College of Organists’ Toronto Centre.
