As a performing artist, Amelia has graced many local and international stages as a soloist and chorister in many diverse musical styles and settings. She has been a member of the international award winning choirs Concerto Della Donna , directed by Iwan Edwards and Effusion A Cappella . Along with her solo projects, she is currently singing with Ardesco , a professional a cappella group and La Ceilagh , a chamber choir that specializes in Canadian contemporary music.
As a teacher, Amelia passes the joy of singing to her private students at the McGill Conservatory of Music and joined the jazz faculty at McGill University in 2006/7 as the director of the Vocal Jazz Ensemble.
With appearances on 5 albums to her credit, Amelia’s voice can most recently be heard on Joel Miller's critically acclaimed album "Tantramar" which was released in November, 2007.
