Dr. Michael Keddy is Music Director of the University of Victoria Don Wright Symphonic Winds and The Greater Victoria Concert Band (Senior Band). He recently served as guest conductor for the Civic Orchestra of Victoria. He currently teaches Music Education and Post-Degree Profes- sional Program courses at the University of Victoria where he completed a PhD in Educational Studies (Music Educa- tion/Conducting) under the supervision of Dr. Gerald King. He was recently appointed Chair of Student Chapters for the Canadian Music Educators’ Association. Prior to his time in Victoria, Dr. Keddy completed a Master’s Degree (Wind Conducting) with Dr. Dale Lonis at the University of Manitoba, and served as Head of Performing Arts at Parry Sound High School in Parry Sound, Ontario, where ensembles under his direc-tion have consistently been praised for their exceptional musicality.

Dr. Keddy completed the Graduate Diploma in Conducting from the University of Calgary, conducted and performed in Europe as Associate Conductor (Concert Band) and Music Director (Jazz Band) of the Ontario Youth Concert Band. He has adjudicated and provided numerous music clinics at many festivals and venues throughout Canada, including Music Director and Music Education Clinician at Camp Musical d’Asbestos in Asbestos, Québec.

As a percussionist, Dr. Keddy taught as a member of the faculty at the University of Manitoba and performed in a variety of venues, from solo performer at Buckingham Palace to Symphony Orchestras to World Champion Drum and Bugle Corps.

Brandon Chaplin is the Assistant Conductor for the Don Wright Symphonic Winds and is in his fourth year of studies in Music Education at the University of Victoria. Originally from Campbell River, Brandon now calls Victoria home though his family has since moved to a less temper- ate climate in Calgary, AB. Brandon is actively involved with the University of Victoria Student Music Educators’ Associa- tionandisregularlycalleduponbythemforhisproficiency using sound equipment and other technology resources.

This past summer, Brandon was thrilled be a part of the University of Toronto “Wind Conductor’s Symposium” hosted by Dr. Gillian McKay, Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds, and guest conductor Dr. Robert Taylor from the University of British Columbia. This workshop gave him additional insight into the world of the conductor which he is thrilled to have further opportunity to explore with the Don Wright Symphonic Winds under the direction of Dr. Michael Keddy.
