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 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. He was Director of Arts at Hillfield Strathallan College in Hamilton, ON from 2005-2015.

When not making music, Greg keeps busy working on his sons' farms in Middleton, New Brunswick and Forest Hill, Nova Scotia, as well as spending time with his grandchildren, Linus, Edie, and Leyda.

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