Measha Brueggergosman, has been appointed Artist-in-Residence at the
Acadia University School of Music. In recognition of the
appointment, Brueggergosman will present a series of open master
classes to Acadia music majors during the week of March 20 as well

“We are thrilled to
have someone with such extraordinary talent regularly visiting
Acadia,” says Dr. Gail Dinter-Gottlieb, President and
Vice-Chancellor of Acadia University. “Bringing Measha to Acadia is
a remarkable accomplishment for our School of Music symbolizing the
consistent quality of its programs. Our students and the broader
community will benefit greatly from her presence on campus.”
Critically acclaimed
for her voice, musicianship, and a stage presence far beyond her
years, Brueggergosman has become known as one of the most brilliant
artists of the day. During the 2005-2006 season she debuted with the

Symphony, and the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg.
Brueggergosman has
sung for Queen Elizabeth II at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall,

Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and appeared on the Juno Awards ceremony
broadcast live throughout Canada.
“Measha has
established an international singing career which promises unlimited
potential,” says John Hansen, Director of the Acadia School of
Music. “She is down to earth and has established a remarkable
rapport with our students. What an inspiration for them to interact
with her and to learn from her.”
