Dr. Reid McLean Wiest, Director / Bass

Reid has had a nearly lifelong interest in a cappella singing. He founded Macappella, a male quartet at Archbishop MacDonald H.S. in Edmonton, which has since expanded to become a school club. He also was a founding member of Edmonton’s Sven Blvd, a mixed sextet. He has a broad choral experience with the University of Alberta Mixed Chorus, Edmonton’s Bel Canto and Unitus ensembles, and the Youth Singers of Calgary.

Reid is one of the longest serving members of OnCue, having joined in 1996, and has been a leader in the group since 1997. One of his key contributions to the group is the numerous original compositions and arrangements he has added to their repertoire.

Outside of OnCue, Reid also contributes to the Youth Singers organization as a composer/arranger, a director and vocal coach. He also practices Family Medicine in Calgary, and enjoys his spare time with his wife, Beth, and their son, Thane.
