Our Director

Our musical director, Lisa Hunszinger, leads with passion, joy and experience.

Lisa Hunszinger has been singing with Sweet Adelines for over 30 years and she brings a varied and extensive musical background to Alberta Northern Lights Chorus.

Lisa’s passion for music began at the age of four when she took her first piano lesson and she hasn’t looked back since. She has her grade 10 level in piano from the Royal Conservatory of Toronto and also played several other instruments in both school and concert bands. Lisa continued her music studies in piano and voice at the University of British Columbia and the University of Alberta receiving a Bachelor of Education degree, as a Music Specialist. She has taught choir and band in the public school system as well as private piano, theory, and voice lessons.

Lisa currently sings baritone for the quartet Glisten. She has previously sung baritone in several choruses and quartets at both regional and international competitions and is currently a member of the Regional Music Faculty, coaching choruses and quartets throughout western Canada. In 2001, Lisa won the Novice Arrangers contest for Region 26 and she is now an Approved Judge in the Expression category.

Lisa is married to Peter and they have two grown children, Kristina and Connor. When Lisa isn’t singing you will find her working in her garden or running the trails of the scenic Edmonton river valley.
