About Me - Andrew St. Hilaire Music

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 working as a collaborative accompanist, pianist, and keyboardist with university & school choirs and soloists, professional choirs, accompanying for dance classes, church services, playing with various bands, and a multitude of musical productions as the Music Director or an orchestra/band musician. 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.
