Wendy Wickham, Artistic Director
Wendy Wickham began singing choral music as a five-year-old choir girl in Baltimore, Maryland. She received her B.S. in Music Education, with an emphasis in piano/organ and voice, from Lebanon Valley College. She holds an M.A. in piano performance from Towson University. Upon graduation, Ms. Wickham attended conducting workshops and master classes at Eastman University and Westminster Choir College. Ms. Wickham has taught in public and private schools and has been the organist and music director for various congregations for over 15 years. She is currently a private teacher, soloist, and performer in the Baltimore/Washington region. She assumed the directorship of The Canticle Singers in 1997.
Chang Shen, Accompanist
Born in Hong Kong, Chang received his musical training at Oberlin and Peabody Conservatories, and completed his graduate studies at Towson University in 2010. He teaches piano at McDonogh School in Owings Mills, and serves as music director at Commonwealth Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA.
In addition to teaching and performing as a pianist, he is also a bassoonist, composer and arranger. He worked many years as a dance accompanist, improvising for ballet and modern dance, and has recorded a large volume of original music for dance classes. When he is not involved in music, he enjoys spending time with his rescue dog, and hopes to one day start an organization that would provide foster homes exclusively for older dogs.
