Also in Calgary he was a member in both the Calgary Youth Orchestra and the Mount Royal Conservatory s Academy of Music. Now at UVic, studying with Kurt Kellan, Sam enjoys having played in both the UVic Orchestra and Wind Symphony along with various solo and chamber performance settings.

Since beginning his studies at the University of Victoria while studying under Kurt Kellan, Collin has enjoyed performing with the UVic Wind Symphony and Orchestra as well as the Greater Victoria Youth Orchestra.

Justin was also a member of the Mount Royal Conservatory s Academy of Music as well as the Calgary Youth Orchestra, with which he travelled and performed internationally. Justin left his native Stavely Alberta to further his horn studies with Kurt Kellan at the University of Victoria. Here he has enjoyed the opportunity to play in a full range of both large and small ensembles. Currently Justin plays with the Meridiem Wind Ensemble, the Greater Victoria Youth Orchestra, and the UVic Orchestra. He is also a member of a newly founded woodwind quintet.
