Ian receiving Jack Burghardt Community Service Above Self Award – June 26, 2023
London Pro Musica Choir (LPMC) is honoured to announce that our newly elected president Ian Davies, was recently awarded the Jack Burghardt Community “Service Above Self” Award. This award recognizes a member of the Rotary Club of London who is primarily involved as an active community volunteer in “non-Rotarian” activities, and secondarily as an active member within the Rotary Club of London.
Ian has been associated with London’s TD Sunfest since 1997 and is currently Special Projects Coordinator. He helped establish the revival of the Cuckoo’s Nest Folk Club at Chaucer’s Pub in 1994 where he later became artistic director, a position he still holds. Ian is a member of the celebrated Canadian Celtic Choir (is also Concert & Promotions Chair) and travelled with them on the summer festival circuit as well as internationally to England, Scotland and Hawaii. Ian is the founder & co-chair of the Ken Palmer High School Music Bursary which awards two $1000 bursaries each year to graduating High School music students going on to post-secondary music education.
Congratulations Ian! LPMC is looking forward to having your leadership, dedication and commitment as President of our 2023/24 executive, as well as, your talent as a valued member of our bass section!
