Lorraine Manifold

Lorraine (born Hétu) Manifold is a passionate advocate for sacred choral music and firmly believes that we can all develop our inner musicianship to our heart’s content. Her favourite activities are conducting choirs, dabbling in writing choral music in English and French, and reading about the science of music. She is trying to write a book about it, but often gets side-tracked into writing shorter articles or making Contemplative Music Videos, and gathering quotes like in this Compilation.

Born in Montreal, Canada, she now lives in Melbourne, Australia with her husband, Alan, and together they founded the Australian Baha'i Choral Festival. They both love doing anything music-related. Recently they have also been dreaming about moving up to Queensland to bask in warmer weather.

Lorraine holds a Master’s Degree in Vocal Pedagogy, a Bachelor's Degree Hons. in Music and a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, and has studied choral conducting with Jerry Blackstone, Carl Crossin, Rollo Dilworth, Rodney Eichenberger, María Guinand, Graeme Morton, Jodie Spooner-Ryan and Axel Theimer.

Lorraine is very excited about this Compilation because it shows us how the Divine Revelation is God's song to us.
