Rich Coburn is a freelance pianist, vocal coach, organist, arranger, and composer. He is a founding member of the vocal chamber ensemble Quintus 4. He also trains freelancers to improve their negotiation and communication.

Known for his “subtle and nuanced playing,” Rich made his orchestral debut at 17 with the Youth Symphony of the Kootenays and has since appeared in concert throughout Canada, the United States, Italy, France, Austria, and China. He has worked as a coach at Virginia Opera, L’Atelier lyrique de l’Opéra de Montréal and Opera McGill, as well as Music Director for Jeunesses Musicales du Canada and Cowtown Opera. He is currently Music Director and Organist at the Anglican Parish of St. Lawrence. His favourite musical experience is playing two piano repertoire with his twin brother.

Fed up with his own difficulty negotiating contracts, Rich decided to study negotiation and mediation. He now helps others negotiate better through workshops and coaching. His clients range from students at McGill University to the young artists of the Atelier Lyrique de l’Opéra Montréal, to administrators at Selkirk College.
