New members are always welcome to experience the camaraderie and jo y of choral singing. \nLeadership\nUnder the direction of Musical Director Sean Lampard-Quicke\, who joined the choir in 2020\, and the accompanimen t of collaborative pianist Jennifer Mitchell\, a member since 2019\, the c hoir continues to thrive and evolve. \nMembership and Rehearsals\nThe Vict oria Arion Male Choir is actively seeking new singers for its non-audition choir\, beginning in January 2026. Open houses will be held on Mondays\ , January 5th\, 12th\, and 19th\; rehearsals start at 7:00 p.m. each Monda y.  at Cordova Bay United Church\, located at 813 Claremont Ave. The cho ir performs four-part harmony\, with a diverse repertoire that includes cl assical\, spiritual\, folk\, and contemporary selections.

Named one of CBC’s “30 Under 30 Classical Musicians” in 2023\, he has distinguished himself thr ough unconventional programming that integrates the classical guitar with contemporary forms such as ambient electronica. This innovative approach i s best highlighted by his multi-volume series\, Aphex Twin for Guitar—a project that reimagines the intricate works of electronic legend Richard D . James for the nylon string. By successfully bridging these seemingly dis parate musical worlds\, Simon has reached a vast global audience\, amassin g over 3 million streams on Spotify to date. \nThese arrangements have ear ned significant praise from both classical and electronic music circles. M arc Weidenbaum\, founder of Disquiet and author of the 33 1/3 book on Aphe x Twin\, lauded the project for its ability to translate mechanical precis ion into a “living\, breathing human element\,” creating a “shimmeri ng\, 4-dimensional soundworld” that transcends the boundaries of acousti c and electronic music. Reviewing the same project\, Bradford Werner of Th is is Classical Guitar praised Simon’s “warm\, sensitive sound and str ong rhythmic delivery\,” noting that these “touching and intricate wor ks showcase his refined virtuosity and a sophisticated command of the inst rument’s tonal possibilities.” \nThis evocative quality reached a new peak with the 2023 release of his debut studio album\, Noctuary\, a set of brooding vignettes composed specifically for the solo eight-string guitar . Critics at Sinusoidal Music highlighted the profound emotional impact of the collection\, remarking: “It is heart-warming\, yet tells of a sadne ss inside you that can be reached without words. Simply gorgeous.” In ad dition to his solo output\, Simon was recently featured on the Navona Reco rds album Filamentos\, performing the works of Dominican-Canadian composer Liova Bueno. \nSimon’s academic journey began at the University of Vict oria under the revered pedagogue Dr. Alexander Dunn. He subsequently earne d a Master’s Degree at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2020\, w here he was a student and teaching assistant to Rene Izquierdo\, a renowne d Cuban virtuoso. Currently\, Simon is finishing a Doctorate of Musical Ar ts at the University of Toronto under the tutelage of Jorge Caballero and Dr. Jeffrey McFadden. His doctoral research is dedicated to devising a com prehensive sight-reading curriculum for undergraduate guitar students. \nA decorated performer\, Simon won 1st Prize at the 2018 Northwest Guitar Fe stival and has been a finalist or prizewinner in the Canadian National Mus ic Festival\, the GuitarLab International Competition\, and the Twisted Sp ruce Guitar Competition. As a composer\, he received First Prize in the 20 22 Ottawa Guitar Society Composition Competition for his piece\, Distant L ight\, published by Les Productions d’Oz. \nBeyond the stage\, Simon lea ds the guitar department at the University of Victoria and operates ReVamp Guitar Academy. As President of the Victoria Guitar Society and founder o f Coastline Concerts\, he is a leading arts advocate\; in 2026\, he served as Festival Director for the Northwest Guitar Festival\, marking the even t’s first return to Canada in decades. \nSimon performs on a 2025 double -top guitar by Martin Blackwell and a 2021 eight-string guitar by Jeff Sig urdson.
