About Ian

Ian Burbidge comes from small town Ontario. He attended Queen’s University in Kingston studying Music, Mathematics and Education. He then moved to Bruce County to teach Music and Math in the high schools in Kincardine and Port Elgin. He now lives near the Saugeen River with three cats, three dogs and his wife Sandy.

Ian finds peace in working outdoors. Protecting our climate, our natural spaces and our agricultural land are all vital priorities.

Ian continues to work with young musicians at summer music camps and band clinics. He has also shared his talents with many community organizations including bands in Kincardine and Port Elgin, Kincardine Theatre Guild, Bluewater Playhouse and The Chantry Singers.

I believe in balance, community, the importance of our natural environment and the need to work together so that we can all excel. As a musician, I know that the most important skill is listening and I look forward to hearing from you, the people of Huron-Bruce. Ian Burbidge
