Andrew St. Hilaire
I offer a unique variety of skills, services, and experience. In the world of musical theatre, working as a Music Director/Conductor, pit orchestra musician, and keyboard programmer, I enjoy how this work incorporates many of my skills and creative interests, and allows me to meet and collaborate with amazing and talented people from across Canada.
My experience includes being a collaborative accompanist, pianist, and keyboardist with university and school groups, for dance classes, church services, with various bands, and many musical productions. I also offer services that include recording, teaching, tutoring, arranging, re-orchestrating, copyist engraving, keyboard programming, and publishing.
In August 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I became a licensed real estate agent and you can learn more by visiting my real estate website at www.andrewsthilaire.com.
