Consort Members 2025–26

Anna Kwiatkowska, soprano

Anna Kwiatkowska is a soprano and violist, originally from Poland. After graduating from the Music Academy in Lodz, Poland, where she received a MMus in viola and in vocal and acting performance, she continued her education at the University of California in Los Angeles, CA (UCLA, Faculty of Opera Performance).

Ms. Kwiatkowska’s operatic roles include Tytania in Britten’s Midsummer Night’s Dream (UCLA), Rosina in Rossini’s Il barbiere di Seviglia, Despina in Mozart’s Così fan tutte and Sandrina in La Cecchina by Piccinni (Musiakademie Rheinsberg).

Apart from her work as a soloist, Ms. Kwiatkowska has always had a strong interest in choral singing. From early childhood she regularly participated in choral courses in Poland and abroad (Landesakademie Ochsenhausen) and performed in professional settings (Philharmonic in Lodz, Poland, Grand Theatre in Lodz, Poland).

In 2008, as a member of Wroclaw Philharmonic choir, she had the privilege of joining the famous Gabrieli Consort and Players ensemble, directed by Paul McCreesh. The concert tour with Gabrieli included performances at Salle Pleyel in Paris, Barbican Centre and Albert Hall in London (BBC Proms festival).

In Canada, Ms. Kwiatkowska has appeared with Opera Atelier, the Gryphon Trio, the Tafelmusik Chamber Choir, the Toronto Chamber Choir, and St. James Cathedral Choir. Ms. Kwiatkowska is also a passionate teacher. Since coming to Canada in 2009, she has been giving instruction in voice, violin and viola, successfully preparing children and youth for various auditions, exams, and performances.

Lynn Featherstone, mezzo-soprano

Mezzo-soprano Lynn Featherstone was raised in Cambridge, Ontario, where she started piano lessons at age six, beginning a life-long pursuit in musicianship — as a choral singer, soloist, conductor, and teacher. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Voice Studies and a Masters of Music Education from the University of Toronto.

Lynn has sung with numerous choirs and churches across the GTA as lead/soloist. She has been an alto with the Elmer Iseler Singers since 2017, and is also alto lead at Fairlawn Avenue United Church under the direction of Eleanor Daley.

Formerly Associate Conductor of the Bach Children’s Chorus, Lynn currently teaches choral music at the Toronto Waldorf School in Thornhill, where she is thrilled to work with young singers across elementary, middle school, and high school ages.

Adam Wicks, tenor

Drawing on their experience as a tenor, producer, arranger, and musical director, Adam Wicks aims to enable unorthodox music-making opportunities and multimedia events. Producing Catch and Release was one such event; where the intersectional quality of our lives was explored by merging live music, video, and dance.

Hailing from St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Adam studied voice (and euphonium and tuba for a time!) at Memorial University of Newfoundland with E. Mark Murphy, Dr. Jane Leibel, and Meg Herder. They moved to Toronto in the fall of 2021, and have since performed with, among others, the Nathaniel Dett Chorale, Elmer Iseler Singers, Yorkminster Park Baptist Church and Metropolitan United Church choirs, and Opera Atelier.

In 2024, Adam was a performer for the Podium Conference and Festival in Montréal, and was overjoyed to return to their native island of Newfoundland for performances in HarbourVOICES! International Festival of Collective Singing Traditions.

Adam spends their free time writing high-fantasy works and transcribing and arranging video game soundtracks, their favourite being Cuphead (2017).
