Marlis Gunderson

Marlis loves music. She started playing piano by ear when she was 4, took lessons and finished her RCM Grade 10 while in high school. After graduating she became an ICU nurse. Missing her music, she completed her ARCT with Jaquie Ryan and has been teaching piano since. She continues to do private duty nursing.

Marlis enjoys learning new music by being involved in the Roubakine Piano Club, where she attends master classes twice a year. She has toured Switzerland three times with the Edmonton Swiss Men Choir, as their accompanist. She adjudicates across Alberta and is organist and accompanist for several choirs, vocal groups and violin students.

She resides in St. Albert with her husband, close to her 2 grown children and 6 young granddaughters.

Marlis is very excited to be invited back to the Leduc Music Festival.
