Ted Pierre
Born and raised in Montreal, QC, Ted grew up in music, starting with piano lessons from age 5 and progressing through, playing in the high school band (B flat Euphonium), and singing in the mixed choir (through some kind of conspiracy between the football coach and the music teacher, all players on the football team of which he was a member, had to audition and sing in the mixed choir). It was an enriching and extraordinary experience. University and a career in the airline industry beckoned after high school and music was placed on the back burner. Retiring from the business world after more than 30 years, music has regained priority and singing with A Cappella Plus brings fun and personal satisfaction back to this enjoyable challenge.
