Justin Montigne brings both performance expertise and pedagogical insight to his work as a singer and vocal instructor. With degrees from Drake University (B.M.) and the University of Minnesota (M.M., D.M.A.), he has built a career bridging performance, education, and ensemble leadership. During his tenure as Director of Voice Studies for the Grammy Award-winning San Francisco Girls Chorus, Montigne oversaw the vocal development of 350 singers, supervised the voice faculty, and prepared soloists and small ensembles for collaborations with San Francisco Opera, West Edge Opera, and Opera Parallèle. After teaching appointments at UC Berkeley, UC Davis, and Sonoma State University, he now serves as Assistant Professor of Voice at the University of North Dakota (UND). His current research explores intersections of early music and American history, virtual voice pedagogy, and innovative applications of music technology in performance and teaching. As a performer, Dr. Montigne focuses on early music, art song, consort singing, and contemporary works. His experience includes performing and recording with the Grammy Award-winning ensemble Chanticleer, appearing in venues from Carnegie Hall to Vienna’s Musikverein. His oratorio work with ensembles such as Philharmonia Baroque and Conspirare spans repertoire by Handel, Bach, Purcell, Mozart, and Pärt. As a founding member of the Bay Area men’s ensemble Clerestory, he contributed to the development of over forty concert programs across fifteen seasons and co-produced two recordings. Dr. Montigne continues to demonstrate his commitment to diverse programming and collaborative music-making by producing interdisciplinary performances for students at UND and in virtual spaces.
