Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Berthold Auerbach
MORE The COMC was founded as the ‘Hamilton Orpheus Male Choir’ by (William) Lynworth “Lyn” Harry, who was born in Wales and received his Bachelor of Music and associate degrees at the Royal College of Music in London, England. He was Music Director of Wales’s famous Morriston Orpheus Choir. After moving to Canada in 1975, Harry taught at the Royal Hamilton College of Music and established the Canadian Orpheus Male Choir, which, upon his retirement, awarded him the title of Conductor Emeritus. In 2001, Harry was invested as an Honorary Welsh Bard for his lifetime services to music. Lyn Harry passed away in 2006. He is remembered fondly by those who sang for him.
