Kate Helsen has many wonderful memories of singing with Tafelmusik from 2000 to 2004, before moving to Germany to pursue her Ph.D. in Medieval Musicology. Having returned to her native Ontario, she's delighted to sing with this, her favourite choir anywhere, once again. She studied voice as a music history major at the University of Western Ontario and sang with the Ontario Youth Choir and the Amabile Youth Singers. In Germany, she studied with Ursula Eittinger, a teacher at the conservatory in Mannheim. As a musicologist, she specializes in medieval chant research and teaches music history at the University of Western Ontario.
