Bio/Research
A native of Winnipeg, Vernon Regehr is quickly gaining recognition as a versatile, creative and passionate musician. Richard Dyer of the Boston Globe remarked of a Tanglewood Music Festival performance of Elliott Carter's first string quartet, an extraordinary event performed with outstanding aplomb and degree of understanding, and deservedly won one of the summer's sturdiest ovations. Regehr has performed as soloist with the Winnipeg Symphony, Newfoundland Sinfonia, Memorial University Chamber Orchestra and the Cantata Singers of Ottawa. As a chamber musician, he has collaborated with the Shanghai, Penderecki and Lafayette string quartets, James Campbell, Mark Fewer, Suzie Leblanc, and Leon Fleisher. In a recent performance at the Groundswell New Music Festival commemorating Carter's 100th birthday, the Winnipeg Free Press said Regehr's performance of the cello sonata "...showed a clear understanding of the work, while handling its hefty technical demands with finesse."
Regehr completed his undergraduate training at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, where he studied with Kim Scholes, Shauna Rolston and Thomas Wiebe. Regehr earned both his Masters and Doctoral degrees at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he studied with Timothy Eddy. He was the recipient of the Ina Gordon Fellowship for two seasons at the Tanglewood Music Centre, and also performed at the Taos School of Music, Banff Centre for the Arts, Colorado College Conservatory, and the Oberlin Conservatory Summer Festival in Casalmaggiore, Italy.
