Alison Clark
Alison is currently the music director at St. Marks Anglican Church in Brantford, Ontario. She oversees three choirs, a handbell choir and hosts an Advent and Lenten concert series. Alison has held church positions in Montreal, Toronto, Waterloo and Hilton Head (South Carolina). Alison performs many concerts, teaches, and she accompanies community choirs in Kitchener.
Alison started piano lessons with her father when she was five years old, and by the time she was 17, had completed two Diplomas in Piano Performance. At the time she wanted to become a concert pianist, but a famous organist (Dame Gillian Weir) persuaded her that becoming a concert organist was a lot more fun. Other teachers who have helped her along the way include John Grew, Gerald Wheeler, David Sanger, Daniel Roth, Guy Bovet, Lionel Rogg, and Harald Vogel.
A native of New Zealand, Alison moved to Canada in 1981 and completed a Masters degree in Organ Performance at McGill University in Montreal. During her studies, Alison competed in international organ competitions in Chartres (France), Bruges (Belgium), Manchester (England), and Michigan. Alison has also recorded for Radio New Zealand and the CBC.
