BIIMA alumna Julia Jordan (she/her) is an opera artist based in Halifax and has lived on the East Coast since 2020. After defending her thesis on operatic performance and pedagogy in 2022, she sang two seasons with the Halifax Summer Opera Festival and was commended for singing “with fine voice” in an “interpretation [that] was funny and commanding” (Opera Canada). She is currently co-music director at St. Andrew’s United Church, where she leads and coaches the choir in weekly performances. Administratively, she works as Director of Operations at the Atlantic Federation of Musicians, a professional association and union that serves and advocates for musicians in NS and PEI. Julia is excited to return for a second season as BIIMA’s Choral Retreat Program Administrator!
