Welcome!
Winter 2011Variety - that's what you'll find when you read through my list of past and upcoming engagements. My professional life includes solo recitals, accompanying choirs, improvising accompaniments for silent films, accompanying the renowned choirs of St. Michael's Choir School and Cathedral Organist of St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto. I'm all the richer artistically for the wide range of musical experiences and artistic people I encounter.
I'll be adding more content to the website this year so do bookmark the site for a return visit sometime. I welcome your comments and can correspond in English, French or German.
CLASSIC ORGAN: O’Meara on electronic organs
"Bill brilliantly combines his historical knowledge of the Organ with his passion for the performing arts in demonstrating how 'new' and 'old' come together in the Hauptwerk with the ultimate outcome being, of course, to entertain!" - Bernard O'Grady, Classic Organ
