RBC Emerging Artist - Conducting Apprentice

Savanna Muscat (they/them)

Savanna Muscat was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario. They have previously completed degrees at the University of Windsor with a Bachelor of Music in Education in Euphonium and Classical Voice, and a Masters in Instrumental Conducting at Memorial University under the direction of Bill Brennan. Their love for conducting was sparked during their Bachelor’s degree and has continued to grow.

During their musical career, Savanna has performed many times in the communities of Windsor and St. John’s. Highlights include touring with Mid-America Productions to perform at Carnegie Hall; leading a local Queen Tribute called The Champions; performing in choral masterworks with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra; lead trumpet in the pit band of local Broadway productions; and solo euphonium features with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra.

Aside from performing, Savanna has been teaching music for over 8 years. They developed a love for teaching students privately, in the school system, and in the military. They have led many military music workshops and ensemble sectionals, aiming to improve individual and group musicality. Educating students of all ages has inspired a renewed love of music, which they hope to continue to share with the world.

Savanna is excited to work with Maestro David and the NSO this season, and cannot wait to create musical experiences together.
