Additional Info for Choristers
Who can join? Women of all ages who love to sing and have fun. Being able to read music is helpful but not necessary. Come try us out for a few rehearsals free of charge and with no obligation. After attending 3 rehearsals, you will be asked to sing a piece of music to the Musical Director to confirm section placement.
What kind of music do you sing? We sing almost any kind of music you can imagine - the latest Broadway show tunes, timeless ballads, country, jazz and gospel.
Where and when do you rehearse? Our main rehearsals are held in Mississauga, Ontario near the Dundas/Mavis Road area. We meet on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm. As we get closer to our annual Spring charity concert date, we have extra practice sessions and full band rehearsals.
Do you sing all year? We rehearse regularly from September to June with time off for the Christmas holidays. We have two main seasons: Spring and Christmas. Each season has a set of show music and a series of performances profiling that music. New members usually join the choir in September or January.
Where do you perform? Our main annual charity concert is held in the spring at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. We perform our Christmas music annually at the Black Creek Pioneer Village Christmas by Lamplight event.
