The Suncoast Concert Band, based in Roberts Creek, has 20 to 25 members that cover most of the conventional band instruments, including full percussion and a five piece timpani set. Since their previous conductor Joe Hatherill is now off on a world tour, they searched for a replacement. Francois Koh fits the bill. Koh was born in Seoul, Korea, and received a Bachelor of Music with a major in classical guitar and musicology at Kyung Won University where he won a top award in a national music contest. After graduation, he entered the Conservatoire National de Dijon where he studied conducting, harmony, counter point and classical guitar.
Since moving to Vancouver in 2006, he has given solo guitar concerts, private guitar lessons, and conducted various ensembles including the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Patience for the North Shore Light Opera Company.
