Carillon Music Academy Welcomes You... We are excited to welcome all Lower Mainland piano and organ students to the 25th Annual Carillon Music Festival (CMF)! This is the first half of the CMF, featuring contemporary piano classes, organ classes for all styles and small ensembles. The second half of the festival is from April 7 – April 29, 2018, featuring guitar, voice, strings and classical piano classes as well as duets and ensembles. We look forward to seeing you again in April! The Carillon Music Festival was launched in 1994 to provide the young artists of our community with the opportunity to pursue their craft at a broader level. The festival provides participants with an extraordinary venue for performing, learning and sharing their musical experience with an unrivalled panel of adjudicators. This festival is made possible through the time and effort of many teachers, students and donors who understand the importance of quality music instruction. We thank all of you who are supporting this special opportunity for hundreds of Lower Mainland music students. Good luck to everyone!

Carillon Music Academy Welcomes Our Contemporary Adjudicator MICHAEL CREBER Michael Creber is one of the West Coast's most sought-after musicians, onstage as well as in the recording studio. He pursues a wide-ranging career as a keyboardist, composer and producer, embracing many areas of popular music including jazz, Latin, R&B, rock, pop, musical theatre, country and folk. Michael has toured internationally, performed and recorded with some of the top entertainers from the 1980’s to the present, including David Foster, k.d. lang, Cyndi Lauper, Raffi, Petula Clark, Regis Philbin, Lee Aaron, and the Irish Rovers. Mr. Creber, as a member of k.d. lang’s band “The Reclines,” appeared on the Johnny Carson Show, Arsenio Hall, Saturday Night Live and the Grammy Awards. One Los Angeles reviewer dubbed Michael's outstanding piano work from this period, heard on k.d.'s 1989 album “Absolute Torch and Twang,” as "a cross between Floyd Cramer and Thelonius Monk." With award winning artist Raffi, Michael performed for U.S. President Bill Clinton’s first inauguration, a Washington D.C. luncheon for Mikhail Gorbachev as well as sold-out concerts at the Gershwin Theater in New York City. In 1994 Michael co-produced and co-wrote Raffi’s “Bananaphone” CD for which he earned a Grammy Award nomination. Mr. Creber’s credits as musical director includes ”You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown,” “Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well And Living In Paris,” and “Tapestry: the Music of Carole King,” a hit revue at Vancouver's Arts Club Theatre. He and his wife, Monique, produce and direct “The Magic of Christmas”, an annual benefit concert for the past nine years. Michael and Monique perform in the concert along with a ten-piece band and 450 children. Some of the guest stars who have helped this production raise over $30,000 for charity include Michael Burgess, The Nylons, Susan Aglukark, The Rankin Sisters and Norman Foote. Michael has three albums of original music to his credit: two solo piano collections, “Brand New Smile” and “Dancers of the Spheres,” as well as a CD by the Michael Creber Trio entitled “Smooth Sailing.” He has kept busy writing scores for film and radio, producing CDs for various artists, teaching and doing session work as a keyboardist. Michael performs regularly on CBC Radio's JazzBeat and Vancouver's Hot Air. He is also a regular on the Vancouver jazz scene in the Michael Creber Trio and as a pianist for Fantazea.
