"Electricity swept through the choir, as it came up on its toes in response to Potvin's energy and intensity and proceeded to sing as it hadn't done for many a concert." —Hamilton Spectator
"The guest conductor exercises effortless control." —Oakville Today
Stéphane Potvin is an accomplished, creative conductor with over twenty years of experience, and is known for his ability to coax lyrical performances from orchestras, choirs and chamber ensembles. He loves to share his passion for music with colleagues and audiences and has a wealth of experience in conducting, education, and administration.
In recent years, Maestro Potvin has held the positions of a Conductor in Residence at Orchestra London, Music Director of the Oakville Chamber Orchestra and Assistant to Boris Brott at the National Academy Orchestra. His energies are now focused on his newly formed Oakville Chamber Ensemble.
His career has taken him across Canada, the United States and Europe conducting the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, the McGill Chamber Singers, the Orpheus Male choir, the Niagara Children's Choir and the Canadian Armed Forces Band.
Maestro Potvin is an excellent communicator with a sense of humour that helps create a friendly rapport. He is as much at ease on the podium as he is doing motivational speeches. Fully bilingual, he connects equally with audiences in both French and in English. He knows how to engage audiences young and young at heart.
Born in Québec, Maestro Potvin studied orchestral and choral conducting with Frieder Bernius, Gustav Meier, Otto-Werner Mueller, Jorma Panula, Fred Stoltzfus and Timothy Vernon.
