The 缅北强奸 and Montreal music communities are mourning the loss of a beloved member. 缅北强奸 professor Eleanor Stubley went missing on August 7. This morning, Montreal police confirmed that her body has been found; they do not suspect foul play. Professor Stubley was 57 years old.

Eleanor Stubley was an Associate Professor and Associate Dean of Graduate Students in the Schulich School of Music.

Prof. Stubley earned her Ph.D at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and her M. Mus. from Brandon University. In 1989, she joined 缅北强奸, where she taught music education, musicology, and performance.

鈥淓leanor Stubley was a vital member of the Schulich School of Music community,鈥� said Brenda Ravenscroft, Dean of the faculty. 鈥淎s Associate Dean for Graduate Studies, she demonstrated on a daily basis profound devotion and fierce advocacy for students, learning, and artistry. An accomplished choral conductor and a thought-provoking scholar, she constantly found unique ways to bridge performance and research, and was an influential mentor for countless graduate students. She was a beloved colleague, who inspired all those around her with her humanity, passion and courage.鈥�

Prof. Stubley conducted ensembles around the world, including the Massey Singers, Elektra, Laapula, the Bach Festival Orchestra, and members of the Canadian Opera Company. Her听artistic creations听include The Pines of Emily Carr, a performance documentary about the relationship between inspiration and place, and Living Gestures, a multimedia concert series that was performed in Canada and Finland. As the founder and artistic director of Chora Carmina, she helped create innovative collaborations between Quebec musicians and visual artists.

In a message to the 缅北强奸 community, Principal Suzanne Fortier said that Prof. Stubley 鈥渨as critically acclaimed as both a scholar and an artist鈥� and 鈥渨ill be greatly missed鈥� in the 缅北强奸, Montreal and international music communities of which she was such an important member. Principal Fortier noted Prof. Stubley鈥檚 long-term commitment to the Yellow Door Choir, 鈥渨hich used the power of song to raise more than $65,000 for social justice organizations dedicated to tackling such issues as homelessness, women and violence, and illiteracy.鈥� Stubley was the community choir鈥檚 music director from 1998 to 2014.

Over the course of her career, Prof. Stubley received many accolades, including winning the Prague Conservatory鈥檚 International Dvorak Competition and receiving the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

Prof. Stubley had multiple sclerosis, requiring the use of a wheelchair or forearm crutches, and her work tried to bridge what she called 鈥渢he schism that has traditionally existed between the words used to describe and explain music and the experience of music in and through the body in performance.鈥� One such project, a听performance collaboration with sculptor Jo毛l Pr茅vost, asked 鈥淗ow are we touched as we listen? What do these hands touch and what are they touched by?鈥�

鈥淎s a conductor, I engage with music in and through my hands as a bodily experience,鈥� Eleanor Stubley wrote on her website. 鈥淣ot only does music have a tactile presence across the surface of my palms, the movements of my hands are the very means by which I shape, sculpt, and carve out its expressive possibilities to give it a dynamic presence as evolving sound.鈥�
