 The Organist
& Choirmaster
Dr. Eugene Gates has been organist and choirmaster of St. Barnabas Anglican Church for over 30 years. He received his musical education at Acadia University, McMaster University, University of Toronto and through additional study at the Royal Conservatory of Music, Toronto, and in England. His principal organ teachers were E. F. Gmeiner, Edwin A. Collins and Douglas Bodle.
Eugene Gates is also on the faculty of the Royal Conservatory of Music, Toronto, where he teaches organ, piano and history of music. He is also an examiner emeritus of that institution.
The Choir
 St. Barnabas has a long tradition of good choral music. The choir consists of volunteers and four professional soloists/section leads. The choir's repertoire includes anthems and motets from every period of the church's song, oratorio choruses, plainsong and Anglican chant.
In addition to providing music for regular Sunday worship and special services, the choir presents an annual festival of lessons and carols during Advent, and a cantata or other extended choral work during Lent.
Rehearsals are held from September to June in the choir room on Thursday nights from 8:00 to 10:00 pm. New members are always welcome. Some music-reading ability is required.
