Our Musical Director

Grant Van Heerden (Acting Musical Director)

Grant had never sung in public before joining HAH in 2010.  In fact, on his first night with us, he had little idea of what he was walking into - only that it involved music and singing.  Fortunately, once he got over the surprise, he was hooked and has been a key member of the chorus ever since.

Over the years, Grant has sung in the Lead, Bass, and Baritone sections and is currently trying his hand at Tenor.  As a member of our Executive Team, he played a key role in launching our Facebook page in 2011 and YouTube channel in 2015, both of which he continues to help manage.

Grant was elected Music Vice President in 2017 and became Assistant Musical Director in 2019.  He has competed on stage with HAH at state, national, and Pan Pacific levels, as well as in quartets including Sync or Swim (2015), After Supper Project (2016–2017), and The Meltones (2019).

In 2025, Grant stepped into the role of Acting Musical Director while Cam Ryle completes his degree.  His dedication to the chorus has been recognised with the Barbershopper of the Year Award on three occasions.
