Chelsea Suresh-Mills has been sharing in the joy of choral singing since she was 6 years old! She has been avidly involved in musical pursuits throughout her life, having studied solo vocal performance, performed extensively in community musical theatre productions, and sung in many auditioned choral ensembles across Canada.

Chelsea holds a Bachelor of Arts with a specialization in vocal music from the University of Guelph, a Bachelor of Education from the University of Ottawa, and a Master of Education from Queen’s University. These days, her musical interests include singing with the Foothills Philharmonic Chamber Chorus, sharing her love of music with students as an elementary school teacher, and making music with her two young daughters, both of whom are members of Junior Singers ensembles.

With the support of the Foothills Philharmonic Society Board, Chelsea co-founded the Junior Singers along with Musical Director, Jeff Hibberd in the winter of 2024. She is immensely proud of the young singers in the Junior Singers ensembles as they have come together in friendship and fun to create beautiful music together. As the Administrative Director for the ensemble, Chelsea looks forward to connecting with new and returning singers and families to support a positive experience for all!
