Jaqueline Chambers

Originally from Parrsboro, NS, Jacqueline went to Acadia University to complete her Bachelor of Music Education in 1983. From there, she completed her musical studies at the University of Toronto, receiving an Artist's Diploma in Voice.

Upon returning to Nova Scotia, Jacqueline became the Artistic Director of the Aeolian Singers, a position he held for 20 years. Her time with the Aeolian Singers was characterized by developing innovative, feminist, programming that emphasized partnerships with women across the province and country.

In 2011, Jacqueline, alongside other musical women in Truro, decided to found Creative Voices, to provide a treble choir for people in the area. She has thoroughly enjoyed being able to provide a space for women to come together to sing and build community.

Outside of her choral pursuits, Jacqueline taught in the public school system for 35+ years, first as a music teacher and later as a guidance counsellor. When not at rehearsal, Jackie can be found at her cottage or spending time with her two favourite people: Ross and Cecelia, and their three dogs, Colby, Ethel, and Grace.
