Kornelius Herman Neufeld, or K.H. as he became known, was born in 1892 in south Imperial Russia. An immigrant to Canada in 1923, he became known as “the wandering conductor” in a career that lasted until his death in 1957 from cancer. K.H. was known for his organizing ability, his gregarious personality, and story telling. He had a profound impact on Mennonite choral singing in Manitoba and across Canada.
