Paul Colthorpe – Artistic Director
Paul arrived in the Comox Valley in 1991 with his Bachelor of Music degree and a Master of Education (U. Vic.), He has taught secondary school band and choir and elementary classroom music. He is also Director of Music Ministries at Comox United Church. His mantra of “music by and for the community” has served him well. He has been the Artistic Director of the North Island Choral Society since 1995, almost 30 years and is proud of the choir’s many accomplishments and continued growth.
Julie Matthews – Accompanist
Somewhat of an enthusiastic keener about most parts of life, when Julie is not teaching private music lessons, accompanying, composing, song writing, recording, or taking music lessons herself, she can be found passionately growing food, fermenting vegetables, making cheese, quilting, or tending her beehives. Julie is thrilled to be accompanying North Island Choral!.
