An Introduction to Jodie Blackshaw’s 13 Moons: West

Jodie Blackshaw: 13 Moons
IV. West

UBC Concert Winds, conducted by Christin Reardon MacLellan, is comprised of music majors as well as talented students from many other disciplines. Concert Winds provides the opportunity to perform challenging repertoire in an outstanding concert band, and membership is open to all students regardless of major. In this challenging year, to comply with safety protocols, Concert Winds was comprised of about 30 players (half our usual size). We rehearsed once per week and recorded two full concert programs that were featured in UBC Bands Showcase webcasts.

Christin Reardon MacLellan is the director of the University of British Columbia Concert Winds and a sessional lecturer in the UBC School of Music. She is also the Director of Education & Community Programs for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, where she develops, implements, and oversees a wide variety of educational programming for individuals of all ages, including the Vancouver Symphony Orchestral Institute.

Christin is dedicated to supporting and advocating for quality music education in schools. She maintains an active schedule as an in-demand clinician, guest conductor, adjudicator, and guest speaker. Christin has presented workshops and her research at numerous conferences and symposia in Canada and the United States. As a director of the Coalition for Music Education in BC, she works closely with teachers, community members, and arts organizations to protect, promote, and advance music education in BC schools.

Christin has taught band, choir, and general music in the public schools of Manitoba. She earned her masters degree in music education from Indiana University, where she taught undergraduate courses in music education and was a university supervisor for student teachers. Christin’s research is published in the Journal of Research in Music Education, Music Educators’ Journal, and Canadian Winds. She is the recipient of the 2020 Canadian Music Educators’ Association Builders Award and the 2020 British Columbia Music Educators Association Distinguished Service Award.
