David Beaudoin (Accompanist) currently teaches instrumental music at Glencoe District High School. His career as an accompanist began at an early age, accompanying school musicals, festival soloists and various choirs. While completing his Bachelor of Music at the University of Toronto, he continued to accompany recitals and performance exams. David’s pit band experiences in productions of Cats and Urinetown have prepared him for the ACC’s insatiable desire to perform an exciting and challenging breadth of choral arrangements. And he finds that Monday night rehearsals are an energizing way to start the week!
