Biography
Desmond Gaspar is a Canadian organist, pianist, conductor, composer, and songwriter who works as a freelance concert artist and ballet pianist. He won the Associateship and Fellowship diplomas of the Royal Canadian College of Organists in consecutive years while under 30 years of age, thus being one of a very small number of Canadians under that age to achieve that distinction at the time. Gaspar studied under Earle Moss (piano), Molly Sclater (theory), Roman Toi (composition), and Heather Spry (organ and church music) from the University of Toronto and the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, during which time he received numerous performance and competition awards. His eclectic career in liturgical music, dance accompaniment, choir-directing, and other disciplines has taken him to various venues in Canada, the United States, and Europe.
