Malcolm Halliday
Malcolm Halliday currently lives much of the year in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico where he continues an active performing and teaching career. He returns periodically to the U.S. to concertize and spend time at his lake home in Ashburnham, MA. He also does occasional substitute work as organist and/or choir director for New England houses of worship.
Mr. Halliday is artistic Director of Chorale San Miguel, a semi-professional chorus in residence at the Franciscan convent of San Miguel, where he also administers concerts with an 1875 Johnson pipe organ, recently restored and imported from Williamstown, MA.
His cantata "Emily", about the Canadian painter and writer Emily Carr was premiered in San Miguel to great success on Feb. 26, 2026. Plans are underway to bring the work to Canada.
In addition to piano and organ solo recital work, Mr. Halliday also works with singers and instrumentalists in a wide range of collaborative concerts in both the U.S. and Mexico. Please contact him at rmhallidayjr@gmail.com if you'd like more information about scheduling a concert event in your community.
