Stephen Frketic

Stephen Frketic is passionate about the power of sacred music to bring people of all ages and backgrounds together. He seeks to expose people to a diverse musical repertoire drawn not only from our superb Anglican choral tradition, but also from the great body of spirituals and the music of living composers.

During his musical tenure in Toronto, Stephen worked with multiple choirs, and led his church choir on tours to Montréal, Québec City, Dublin, Ireland, and Oxford, England. He is also a recent Past-President of the Toronto Centre of the Royal Canadian College of Organists. Before pursuing his graduate studies, Stephen worked as a high school choir director in Houston, Texas, and also as an English Language Instructor in Tokyo. His husband Anson is a research scientist at Emory University in the department of human genetics.
