THE COLLECTIVE

Since our founding in 1992, musica intima has been a collective of artists, each with our own passions, experiences, and voices. In November and December 2020, we gave the twelve artists that make up musica intima today a chance to tell their stories in a series curated by one of our sopranos, Kira Fondse.

"Why I stuck with singing? I just wanted to see how far I could go with it..."

"I grew up in Regina..."

"I think my biggest musical influence was my mum..."

"I saw in grade 8 that choir was an elective and I thought, 'well, it’ll make my mum happy...'"

"My dad was an Anglican minister, so when I was 3 or 4 years old, I was a boy soprano in the church choir..."

"My mom would always have Messiah on at Christmastime, we just sang a lot at home..."

"The choir teacher at my middle school would say, ‘keep singing, Jake, keep singing...'"

“I got a trumpet when I was pretty young, because we thought it would be nice for me to play the melody..."

“I grew up in southern Idaho..."

“My paternal grandfather was really supportive of my music education..."

"So when I was 5, I would play my parents’ Christmas records, and I just started imitating what I heard..."

"I had my first voice lesson when I was 10. I clearly remember just bursting into tears..."
