Mwansa Mwansa is a Winnipeg-based conductor, vocalist, and music educator whose career spans conducting, performance, musical theatre, and studio recording. She holds a B. Mus. and has worked across a range of musical and educational settings throughout her career.

She conducted her first choir at 19, founding the University of Lethbridge Gospel Choir during her studies. In the years since, she's toured internationally as a vocalist, performed and taught in musical theatre, and contributed to a range of recording projects. She returned to conducting with Winnipeg's DayTrippers Choir before founding Roots in Harmony, where she now serves as Artistic Director.

Mwansa has taught voice, piano, and theory for more than 15 years, working with students of all ages on technique, confidence and musicianship. Whether she's teaching, conducting, or performing, it all comes back to one thing: music as a way to connect people and keep culture alive.

She was raised in Southern Alberta by a Liberian mother and a Zambian father. Growing up in choral communities gave her a sense of belonging; the Zambian folk songs her father sang gave her something else — a thread back to where her family came from. Roots in Harmony is where those two things meet: a space to celebrate Black musical traditions through performance, storytelling, and community.
