We’re happy to share the news that Erin Sparks, Chair of the Talent Trust Board of Directors, has been named Executive Director of Debut Atlantic.
In addition to leading our board, Erin is a Talent Trust scholarship recipient (2003-2007).
She received a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Toronto. Prior to graduate studies, she completed an Artist Diploma at the U of T and received a Bachelor of Music from Dalhousie University.
Erin has a wealth of experience at Debut Atlantic, serving as their Program Officer since 2014. She’s also worked as an administrator for the Centre for Opera Studies in Italy, and as manager for Darryl Edwards’ Concert Opera Group. She was an Artist Representative with Andew Kwan Artists Management Inc. and in 2011 received the award of Emerging Agent of the Year from the Ontario Contact organization.
Everyone at the Talent Trust would like to congratulate Erin and Debut Atlantic as they begin their 2018/19 season.
The Talent Trust is thrilled to welcome Stacey Cornelius to the Talent Trust's administrative team as Communications Coordinator. As we gear up for an incredible 75th anniversary year in 2019, Stacey's experience in marketing and communications as well as her dedication to the arts will be critical to sharing our story.
We are incredibly excited for the festivities to commence, and will mark this platinum year with many special events featuring Talent Trust's prestigious recipients past and present. There has not been a more important time than now to celebrate the incredible talent of Nova Scotia's emerging artists whom we have been fortunate to support for three quarters of a century.
All the best,
Erin Sparks, Chair, NSTT
