Choral conductor becomes university chancellor

September 28, 2012 by Richard Allen Roe Leave a Comment

ST JOHN’S, NEWFOUNDLAND — Choral director Susan Knight says she’s thrilled to be appointed as the chancellor of Memorial University, the first woman named to the job.  “It took my breath away,” Knight said of the phone call from Premier Kathy Dunderdale.

Knight has been well known for her work in music and for founding the award-winning youth choir, Shallaway, and Festival 500, the international choral festival held every two years in Newfoundland and Labrador.
