Jereme Wall has a passion for music as well as healthcare.  Growing up in rural Manitoba, Jereme was exposed to a multitude of choirs and developed a deep love for singing. Following high school he attended the University of Manitoba with the plan of pursuing a degree in science. During this year he sang with the University of Manitoba Singers and was lucky enough to go on tour with them to Europe. At this time he decided that his love for music was more important than science and moved to Brandon, Manitoba in order to study voice. Jereme graduated from Brandon University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Music in voice performance. The following year he went on a four month hiatus to live in Paris, France followed by a backpacking tour of Eastern Europe. Missing the Canadian prairies, Jereme returned to Winnipeg in order to continue his pursuit of what will now be a secondary degree in microbiology and biological sciences at the University of Manitoba. While his aspiration is a career in pediatric medicine, Jereme can’t stray too far from his love for singing. He currently sings with Winnipeg’s baroque ensemble Canzona and the Winnipeg Singers.
