Ann Mortifee, CM (born 30 November 1947) is a Canadian singer, composer and librettist, author, storyteller, and keynote speaker. Her music blends folk, musical theatre, pop, sacred and world music. She is a member of the Order of Canada, one of the highest honours bestowed on civilians by the Government of Canada.

Early years

Born in Durban, South Africa, Mortifee lived in the province of Natal until the age of 10. Her father, who was deeply opposed to the country's racist apartheid regime, immigrated to Canada with his wife and children and settled in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Family

She was married to the late Paul Horn, a jazz flutist and one of the early New Age musicians. Her younger sister, Jane Mortifee,[1] also an artist, has on occasion performed onstage with Mortifee and on her albums.

Awards

Mortifee has received national and international distinctions and awards for her albums, concerts, musicals, scores for ballet, film, opera, and TV, as well as her book, In Love with the Mystery. She also facilitates arts and consciousness workshops, and has co-founded two foundations – one for social innovation and one for forestry conservation.[citation needed]
