Timeline
Julian James Wachner (born September 23, 1969) is an American composer, conductor, and keyboardist.
Julian Wachner was born in 1969 in Hollywood, CA into a musical household—his mother, Mary Spire, was a pianist, and his former stepfather, Robert Cole, was a conductor.
He began cello and piano lessons at age 4 at the University of Southern California, and from age 9 to 13, Wachner studied composition in New York at the Saint Thomas Choir School under Gerre Hancock.
While a student there, he was appointed the University Organist and Choirmaster at Marsh Chapel.
Many of Wachner's earlier published works were liturgical in purpose, written during his tenure as University Organist and Choirmaster at Marsh Chapel in the early 1990s.
He first came to public attention with Canticles (1991, revised 1994), a work for chorus and orchestra written as a response to the Gulf War and as a companion piece to Fauré's Requiem.
In 1995, he and Peter Watchorn founded the Boston Bach Ensemble, a period instrument orchestra and choir.
He graduated in 1996 with a Doctorate of Musical Arts in composition and orchestral conducting and taught as an Assistant Professor of Sacred Music at BU's School of Theology.
From 1996 to 2006, he was Director of the Providence Singers in Providence, RI.
From 1999 to 2002, he directed the Young Artists Composition Program at the Tanglewood Institute.
During his tenure at BU, Wachner also headed multiple Boston-area arts institutions.
In 1999 he conducted the premier performance of The Magdelene Passion, by composer Elaine Bearer, with the Providence Singers, an hour-long oratorio with five soloists, chorus, organ and chamber orchestra.
Their recording of Bach's Christmas Oratorio, released in 2001, helped launch Watchorn's Musica Omnia label in 1998.
Wachner also served as Director of the Back Bay Chorale, releasing a CD of works by Benjamin Britten with the ensemble in 2001.
Wachner moved to Montreal in 2001 to become an associate professor at McGill University's Schulich School of Music, a post he held until 2011.
As associate professor, Wachner served as the principal conductor of Opera McGill and occasionally conducted the McGill Symphony and Contemporary Music Ensemble.
He also founded and directed the Schulich Singers, a chamber choir that performs repertoire spanning all musical periods.
While in Montreal, Wachner also founded and directed the Bach-Academie de Montréal (now the Montreal Bach Festival) and served as Director of Music of the Presbyterian Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul.
From 2008 to 2017, he served as the Director of The Washington Chorus.
