Marshall Pynkoski and Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg’s performances and education programs have had a major impact on the Canadian music scene. Co-founders of the Opera Atelier, a baroque opera and ballet company, they have garnered national and international recognition for their highly collaborative productions, representing Canada at Milan’s La Scala and at the Royal Opera in Versailles. Despite an extensive international touring schedule, the couple shares their passion for the arts by hosting free workshops in the community for inner-city youth and emerging artists.
