Bio/Historical Note: Dorothy (Alice) Howard was born in Winnipeg in February 1929. At a young age, she began music and dance lessons, and later had leading roles in school and university productions. Dorothy graduated from the University of Manitoba with a BA, later earning a Licentiate in Music and a Master of Education. In the 1950s and 60s, Dorothy performed with the CBC Winnipeg Choristers, James Duncan Singers, Hollow Mug Theatre, and as mezzo-soprano soloist with the CBC Winnipeg Orchestra, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, and, for 10 years, Westminster United Church. In 1969 Howard joined the Department of Music at the University of Saskatchewan, starting a distinguished 25 year career there. An inspiring teacher and mentor, she developed special and enduring relationships. Her students were consistent winners of scholarships and awards, many of them continuing to singing and teaching careers. Howard started an Opera / Music Theatre program and staged many productions.

In 1991, as a full professor, she was honoured with the Master Teacher Award at the U of S, given to an outstanding teacher chosen by students and faculty.

She gave numerous solo recitals, many broadcast by the CBC, and was a champion of contemporary and Canadian music. Her adjudicating took her to almost every part of Canada.
