Shaelyn Archibald received her first musical training on flute at age eleven. Although interested in singing, she did not start serious vocal studies until 2011 when she moved to Ottawa for her Master’s Degree in flute. What started as a way to help her flute tone turned into a real interest in classical singing. Shaelyn now holds a Bachelor of Music from the University of Lethbridge, a Masters in Music from the University of Ottawa, and an Artist Diploma from the Glenn Gould School of Music, all in flute performance. In 2020 she completed her Master of Music and Literature in Vocal performance degree at the University of Western Ontario.

Shaelyn is the founder and Artist Director of Quintroversy Woodwind Quintet. Quintroversy is a proud member of Prologue to the Performing Arts and tours schools in the GTA and southern Ontario with their production of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. In 2019, Quintroversy was awarded one of the Paula Awards made possible through Prologue’s Arts’ Endowment Fund to complete their new show which features Poulenc’s L’histoire de Babar, le petit éléphant.

Shaelyn has been the recipient of many scholarships and awards including the Lethbridge Kiwanis Rose Bowl in 2011. In the same year, Shaelyn placed second at the Canadian Music Competition’s National Woodwind Final in her age division. Her principal instructors have been: Camille Churchfield and Dr. Kathleen Rudolph (flute), Marianne Bindig, Frederique Vezina, and Patricia Green (voice).

Shaelyn’s passion for singing has led to performances as a vocalist in local festivals and recitals in the Ottawa and Toronto areas. She stepped out into the Toronto Opera scene making her operatic debut as Rosalinda in Die Fledermaus with Toronto City Opera in 2016. Other role credits include the Merry Widow in The Merry Widow, Alice in Night Blooming Cereus, Helen in A Northern Lights Dream, and Mrs. Grose in The Turn of the Screw.

Shaelyn has recently relocated to Berlin to pursue a career in Opera in Germany. She is ecstatic about the potential and learning opportunities available in Berlin!
