Years ago I release some of my music under the name of "Thunderfoot"  This was my own invention made up of hired musicians and friends playing my songs and arrangements.  The reality of this song and dance was just to keep the attention away from me.  I have always enjoyed producing but similar to the Allan Parsons Project he and his partner were frustrated with dealing with difficult artists.  What if we could put together the people that are right for a particular song and produce this with our original thoughts behind the song when we wrote it.  That is what I did when I released under the name of Thunderfoot and now I will begin to release those same kind of productions under the name of The Donald Schulz Project.  I am coming out of the closet sort of speak.  Hope you enjoy some of the things that I put out here.

The B.T. Williams Quartet was formed in 2012 as a classical chamber ensemble at the University of Victoria. Dedicated to exploring diverse and exciting repertoire, the quartet presented a debut recital in 2015 and were featured as soloists with the UVic Wind Symphony in 2016. Together, Austin, Seán, Lee and Zach bring a mosaic of musical interests to their work as active performers, composers, academics and educators.

From those classical origins, the quartet took their vivacious energy and refined musical chemistry to the streets of downtown Victoria in 2016, sharing a unique mix of classical and popular styles with visiting tourists and locals alike. Covering everything from Queen and Taylor Swift to the film scores of John Williams, all through carefully-crafted arrangements combining saxophones and inventive percussion instruments, the B.T. Williams Quartet has since become a fixture of the Victoria busking scene.

Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and music educator with diverse roots in classical, jazz and contemporary art music, as well as street performance and musical theatre. Frequently juggling a unique array of saxophones, bassoons, and clarinets (even cello) within a single performance, he has performed alongside ensembles from across southern British Columbia, including the Victoria Symphony, Theatre Under the Stars Vancouver, and as a founding member of the BT Williams Quartet. Whitehorne earned a Bachelor of Music from the University of Victoria in 2018 and currently pursues academic research into music, language, and the brain, as part of graduate studies in psychology. As a composer, his output includes works for solo musicians, chamber ensemble and larger forces. Whitehorne has often been heard in an eclectic mix of venues around Victoria, from the Royal Theatre to the Inner Harbour causeway, passionate about sharing fresh, engaging music with new audiences.
