Hailing from St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Greg Bruce is a Doctor of Musical Arts who has spent over 20 years in the music industry as a saxophonist, composer/arranger, and band leader. During this time Greg has drawn on his training in classical and jazz to record, tour, and perform in every setting imaginable: from conferences in the US, to street parties in Canada, to palaces in Russia.
For his doctoral studies, Greg developed a feedback saxophone system whereby the saxophone is augmented by analogue media to manipulate acoustic feedback tones. He has since expanded this work to include various cassette tape media in a post-digital solo performance project.
As an educator, Greg worked as Applied Music Instructor at the College of the North Atlantic in the 23/24 academic year; he has taught privately most of his career; he has led workshops and masterclasses at the University of Toronto; and worked as a per-course instructor at Memorial University.
Beginning in Fall 2024, Greg will be working as post-doctoral scholar at McGill University in Montreal, QC.
