A MASTER OF MUSIC & HERITAGE — STEPHEN MUISE HONOURS BILL MacNEIL

We are honoured to announce that the accomplished STEPHEN MUISE will be performing on June 18th at Centre 200 in tribute to Hall of Fame inductee, BILL MacNEIL!

Stephen Muise is a Cape Breton musician, educator, and conductor best known as the Musical Director of the Men of the Deeps — North America's only coal miners' choir. Since taking the helm in 2017, he has carried forward the ensemble's celebrated international legacy while preserving Cape Breton's rich mining heritage through music.

A skilled arranger and keyboardist, Stephen also performs in dynamic live entertainment productions alongside Jenn Sheppard, L.J. MacLean, and Terrance Murphy. With over 25 years in music education and numerous national honours to his name, he is widely respected for his contributions to performance, education, and community music development across the island.

To see Stephen lend his exceptional talent and deep musical knowledge in tribute to Bill MacNeil will be a fitting celebration of a life devoted to Cape Breton music.

Conductor. Educator. Keeper of Cape Breton's musical heritage.

📅 June 18th | Centre 200 | Cape Breton Music Industry Hall of Fame
