Greg Burton continues to manage a varied career in music that includes conducting, performing, and teaching. Greg’s association with professional orchestral music in Halifax dates back to the Atlantic Symphony days and continues with Symphony Nova Scotia, with whom he performed for many years as a trombonist, and is now a regular guest conductor. Greg has recently had guest-conducting engagements with Symphony New Brunswick, Tutta Musica Orchestra, and the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra.

He has been privileged to have been Music Director of the York Symphony Orchestra, The North York Concert Orchestra, the McMaster Chamber Orchestra, and the Halton-Mississauga Youth Orchestra, as well as the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra. Greg enjoys working with university-aged musicians and has held positions at a number of universities including The University of Toronto, McMaster University, Acadia University, and Mount Allison University.

During the pandemic, Greg kept busy working on his son’s farm in Middleton, New Brunswick, and spent time with his grandson, Linus.

Greg is always excited to make music, of any genre, with the incredible, consummately professional musicians of Symphony Nova Scotia.
