About Us
Deborah Henderson holds degrees in Fine Arts and Education from Queen’s University. She lives in Port Hope where she runs a Suzuki-based violin program. Deborah has played in a variety of ensembles, including pit orchestras for musical theatre productions, string quartets, chamber orchestras and community orchestras (and she sits in on fiddle sessions at pubs now and then). She has many years of choral and voice training as well; however, her true love is chamber music, which has yielded a lasting and productive partnership with flutist, Fred Cory.
Fred Cory is an experienced musician with 25 years of performing experience in orchestra, theatre orchestra, chamber music, jazz and commercial ensembles. He has studied both jazz and classical music, earning a performance degree at the University of Victoria on flute and a diploma in jazz studies on saxophone at Vancouver Community College. In recent years, Fred has become interested in early music and has taken up the recorder in order to play pre-classical music more authentically (please visit: www.ancientmusic.ca for details on The Ancient Music Trio). Fred is also a registered massage therapist working in Cobourg and Port Hope.
