Kenneth G. Mills
Kenneth George Mills (1923–2004) was a Canadian metaphysical/philosophical speaker and author. An exponent of the oral tradition, he gave spontaneous lectures and poetry for over 37 years. At the same time, he became noted for his accomplishments in music, particularly as the conductor of the choral ensemble The Star-Scape Singers. He excelled at composing, painting and design and has been described by some as a New Age man, a man for all seasons, and a Renaissance man.〔''Omega New Age Directory'', book review of ''The Golden Nail'', November 1993.〕〔''Omega New Age Directory'', book review of ''Change Your Standpoint ~ Change Your World'', August 1998.〕〔Joseph, Urban, quoted in “An Open Letter of Appreciation to Canada,” written by Rolland G. Smith, broadcast journalist, and published in PRIME Mentors’ newsletter, “Tenth Anniversary Gala Celebration!” April 1997.〕
==Life==
Mills was born in St. Stephen, New Brunswick in January 1923. He attended Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick.〔(Obituary, The New York ''Times'', October 13, 2004. )〕 Trained from the age of 7 in music, he became a concert pianist, with debuts in Toronto in 1952 and New York City in 1961.〔(''Encyclopedia of Music in Canada'' ), 2nd edition. (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1992).〕 Though he chose to end his career as a concert pianist in 1963, he concentrated on teaching piano and adjudicating young musicians for another ten years.〔Tan-Willman, Conchita: “Canadian Achievers and Their Mentors,” Vol. 1, PRIME Mentors of Canada (Toronto: PRIME Mentors of Canada, 1994).〕 Living in Toronto, he began speaking spontaneously to those who requested that he do so,〔''The Candy Maker’s Son: Memoirs of Kenneth G. Mills'' (Toronto: The Kenneth G. Mills Foundation, 2007), p. 191.〕 ultimately offering many thousands of hours of metaphysical/philosophical lectures and meetings over his lifetime.
Mills extended his musical interests in 1976 when he formed the a cappella vocal ensemble The Star-Scape Singers. He and his singers would eventually give concerts throughout Eastern and Western Europe and the United States. Mills also engaged in musical composition, creating both choral and orchestral works. In addition, he explored various types of designing, and in 1993 created a line of haute couture fashions. His interest in painting yielded more than 200 large canvases.〔 He was recognized for mentoring and sponsorship of artists in all these disciplines, and he continued his mentoring and spontaneous speaking until shortly before his death in October 2004.
