Melanie Conly

Praised for her "passion and charm" (Now Magazine) and “sweet voice delivery” (Toronto Star), soprano Melanie Conly is acclaimed for her distinctive voice and musical understanding. She originally trained in musical theatre and later classically, cultivating a diverse skillset serving her wide range of work. 

An experienced chamber musician and recitalist, she has soloed with orchestras and choirs and is sought out for her compelling performances of new music. She has been invited to sing on many series and in festivals including the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival and Sweet Water Music Weekend in Owen Sound. During the pandemic she and her now husband, guitarist Jason Fowler, spent many evenings singing and playing together at home. The culmination of that musical alchemy is a unique mixture of modern, folk and classical music. Since the world reopened they have been performing as a duo; Mason & June.

Alongside performing she maintains a voice and piano studio in Toronto. In 2012, 2019, and 2025 she was a singer for Frederick Harris Music for the recordings of the repertoire for the Royal Conservatory Vocal Series. In the summer of 2019 she was a presenter and adjudicator at the Royal Conservatory of Music Summit in Toronto. As a clinician with local choirs she has led a wide selection of sessions on topics including coloratura, expressive text and warming up the whole person. She is a certified yoga instructor for children and adults, and is cultivating workshops that explore tools for performance, creativity, and life; a synthesis of her passions as a teacher, performer, yogi, and meditation practitioner. 

She lives in Toronto with her husband and enjoys baking adventures with children.
