Dr. Margot Rejskind

Dr. Margot Rejskind grew up in Montreal and her formative training started there before she moved to the United States to complete her master’s and doctoral work in conducting. Both her academic and professional experiences have always centered around music. As a voice teacher passionate about vocal pedagogy, Dr. Rejskind was the Director of Choirs for the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto from 2006 to 2013. She then moved to PEI where she was a professor at the University of Prince Edward Island. After nearly a decade in that role, she has moved away from academic work into union work. All along the way, she has been an active and instrumental person in choral music on the Island. She is the founder and artistic director of Luminos Ensemble, a chamber choir and orchestra; the artistic director of Forte Men’s Choir; and the music director of Island Choral Society. She also sits on many boards and offers private voice lessons. 

Under Dr. Rejskind’s leadership, Luminos Ensemble was awarded the Choral Recording of the Year from the East Coast Music Awards in 2024, and they have received multiple award nominations from Music PEI. Margot is also a regular music contributor to CBC Mainstreet.
