Brad Barbeau studied organ performance at Queen’s University under Patricia Wright at Metropolitan United Church in Toronto.  He has also studied with Edward Norman at St George’s and Keith Rasmussen at Bridge Street United Church in Belleville.  For three years he was an assistant with the Cantabile Choirs of Kingston and studied conducting with Mark Sirett.  Mr. Barbeau spent eight years as Assistant Organist at St George’s and acted as Interim Director of Music in 2009-2010 and again from 2020-2022. He has performed with the Cantabile Choirs of Kingston and the Kingston Symphony. 

In 2009, he founded a new children’s choir at the Cathedral restoring a part of the choral tradition that had been missing for a number of years.  After leaving St George's in 2010, he moved to St Paul's Anglican Church, Sydenham where a thriving music program was built. During this period it became a yearly tradition to offer a special Good Friday community choral concert at St Paul's which was often combined with another performance at a different location to make the performance as accessible to as many as possible.  

Brad is also Associate Dean of Applied Science and Computing at St Lawrence College where he is responsible for leading an academic team of over 100 faculty members across 15 program areas to prepare students for careers in the modern world.  Not content to limit his interactions to just one sphere of life, Brad has also served a term as a municipal councillor in the Township of South Frontenac where he sat on the Corporate Services Committee, Committee of Adjustment, and the Heritage Committee.
