Melodie Langevin is the Director of Choirs at Seycove Secondary, a vibrant school nestled in a town residents affectionately call “The Cove” in North Vancouver. An avid chorister herself, Melodie discovered a passion for conducting while completing her Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Manitoba. She studied with soprano Valdine Anderson and sang under Dr. Elroy Friesen and with several other ensembles in Winnipeg including Camerata Nova, an innovative ensemble that performs early, contemporary, and Indigenous-infused repertoire.

In 2013, Melodie moved to Vancouver to complete her Bachelor of Education degree. Not long after her move, she began singing with the Phoenix Chamber Choir and the St. Andrew’s-Wesley Vocal Ensemble, and over the past few years she has also sung concerts with the Vancouver Cantata Singers, Postmodern Camerata, Aurora Chamber Choir, and musica intima, and sung with various church ensembles throughout Vancouver. Melodie has also been a Music Literacy Teacher for the Vancouver Choral Arts Society, volunteers as the Choral Clinics Coordinator for BCMEA, and she often records vocals for the Cypress Choral Music Publishing company. In addition to her position as Director of Choirs at Seycove, Melodie is also one of four directors for Chor Leoni Men’s Choir’s educational outreach program called MYVoice, leading the North Shore ensemble of young Tenors and Basses.

She is currently on maternity leave so it has been a distinct pleasure for her to continue to work with youth through the Phoenix Choral Experience!
