Distinguished UPEI Music Alumni Series Podcasts

During the fall of 2020, Dr. Karem Simon, chair of the UPEI Department of Music, initiated a series of interviews with alumni, which was an opportunity for them to share their music and professional journeys. These were presented live to music students during the time slot reserved for Friday afternoon student recitals.

While the pandemic has been an obstacle for its continuation, this series was recently re-imagined as an online platform, which has enabled conversations with our alumni from around the world. Interviews have been recorded with:

•    Betty Anne Younker (Class of 1978) released February 9, 2022
•    Nicole Bellamy (Class of 1998) released February 18, 2022
•    Carrie-Ann Matheson (Class of 1996) released March 4, 2022
•    Jonathan Baird (Class of 1998) to be released March 18, 2022
•    Nathan Keoughan (Class of 2010) to be released April 1, 2022
•    Mark Ramsay (Class of 2003) to be released April 15, 2022
