Sing with us!

 Adult Choirs

Our adult choir is an auditioned symphonic SATB choir of about 100 singers. We also have a smaller chamber ensemble, drawn from our adult choir.

Contact our administrator to schedule an audition for the 2023-24 season!

Youth and Children’s Choirs

Young singers are welcome in our Children’s Choir (age 7 to 13) and Youth Choir (age 14 to 23). We offer performance opportunities, a first-rate music education, and terrific collaborations with musicians and singers all over the world – all in a fun and supportive environment! Our season begins in September and ends in spring.                                                           

In the 2022-23 season, the children’s choir wrote a song with composer Jim Papoulis, took a trip to Niagara Falls to sing with the Chorus Niagara children’s choir, and performed in Yuletide Spectacular at Centre In the Square with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony.  They performed in the premiere of Water: An Environmental Oratorio with the adult and youth choirs in May 2023 at Centre in The Square. Our conductor is Andrea DeBoer-Jones.

The youth choir performed last October with the Meadowlands Corps Band, performed in The Magical World of Harry Potter at Centre In The Square with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony in February, and made a collaborative video with choirs in the Philippines and Indonesia. They performed in the premiere of Water: An Environmental Oratorio with the adult and children’s choirs in May 2023 at Centre in The Square. Our conductor is Tom Corken.

Plans for 2023-24 are still underway, but they will include a wide variety of fun activities and performing opportunities, including the unforgettable experience of being on stage at Centre In the Square with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony and other singers: Mozart’s Requiem for youth choir (October 2023) and Yuletide Spectacular for older singers in the children’s choir (December 2023). Check back here later in the summer for more details!

Graduating Children’s Choir singer
Joining the choir was a fantastic move on my part. I have loved music ever since I was born. I have been in many musicals and choirs in my life but this is the first time I've felt like I'm a part of it. I have also made a few friends here that have helped me greatly in ways they don't even realize.

Volunteer with us!

Even if you don’t sing, there are many volunteer opportunities with our organization.

Music in the community

We love to make music in all kinds of places. We have performed beside hiking trails on the banks of the Grand River in Cambridge; held open rehearsals and performances at Kitchener City Hall; offered a concert preview at Kitchener Public Library, and our children’s choir has delighted the crowds at Wonders of Winter in Waterloo. All for free.

Our singers have performed at Christkindlmarkt; at a fund-raiser for Women’s Crisis Services; at BlackBerry’s offices; and at a special Remembrance Day event featuring Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire.

We have helped bring great composers such as Eriks Ešenvalds and Sir James MacMillan to give public workshops, concerts and lectures that are accessible to everyone. We have also produced benefit concerts to help raise money for those stricken by disaster.
