About

Composer, conductor and organist Roger Berg is a musician of widely diverse interests. His compositions have been commissioned, performed and recorded by ensembles ranging from the Symphony Orchestras of Toronto, Winnipeg and Edmonton, and the Esprit Orchestra to the Elmer Iselar Singers and the Hannaford Street Silver Band. He serves as conductor and Artistic Director of Musicata – Hamilton’s Voices. He has close to thirty years’ experience leading musical worship in churches, and has led music for Christian conferences and events throughout that time.
