I ASKED SUZIE IF this new role was what she had planned for the second act of her professional life. “The first act was of course the singing career, and then, there was a mini act, a beautiful one. Teaching at McGill was something that I had embraced as a kind of second act until I was whisked away to Vancouver, which I was not expecting at all.”
This is not Suzie’s first managerial post. In 2005, she had founded , a chamber company dedicated to performing mostly lesser-known works of the baroque era, and some contemporary music. “I had to let it go this year to take up my new position in Vancouver, but it is in the hands of a young woman who has very similar passions and inspirations to me is the best possible outcome.”
