The 54-voice ensemble has performed throughout the world in Concert performances and Choral festivals to great acclaim. They are widely recognized for presenting and preserving great works of Choral literature from a wide range of traditions from around the world that express the region’s diversity. The group is equally committed to innovative and dramatic presentations, as well as promoting the Choral art through the premieres of new works by Stephen Schwartz, Richard Burchard, Eric William Barnum, and Joshua Shank, to name a few.

The choir has been a finalist in both the CBC Choral competition for amateur choirs and the International Choral Kathaumixw in Powell River, British Columbia, and participated in the non-competitive Festival 500 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. It has also been the guest choir at Saskatchewan Sings, and sang at the installation of Lynda Haverstock (a former member) as Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan. In 2010, the choir performed at Podium, the biennial conference of the Association of Canadian Choral Communities, held in Saskatoon.
The choir’s repertoire has been rich in variety since its establishment, and Canadian music has always been an important component of its programming. Perhaps best known for its annual Remembrance Day Concert, the choir’s schedule is generally rounded out by a seasonal Concert in December or January and on... less

Do singers need to know what an octave is?
[this is a version of a post which first appeared on my blog From the Front of the Choir]

(father of the composer)
Ansanm Ansanm
Pou lapè, pou lajisitis, anpil nan yo mouri.
Pou kouraj yo, pou vizyon yo,
Pou tout sa yo te fè, pou tout sa yo sibi,
N’ape chante pou yo. N’ap fè lwanj pou yo.
Ayibobo pou yo!
