Artistic Director
Carrie Schellenberg Wilson
Carrie is enjoying her fifth year as Ecco's Artistic Director. She is excited to be working with such a talented group of singers and musicians. She spends many happy hours pouring over repertoire and imagining different ways of leading this group in their pursuit of meaningful music. She is also in her third year as the Choral Teacher at River East Collegiate. Music education is a very important aspect of Carrie's career and she feels lucky to have such great opportunities. This year she has also been selected to conduct the Central Manitoba Youth Choir.
Carrie is very grateful for the support of her husband and her children, Isaak and Kate. They balance out their busy schedules by enjoying rural life on their hobby farm in Libau.

She currently maintains an active piano teaching studio in addition to working as a collaborative pianist with a variety of professional and amateur musicians.
