Performances and Past Repertoire


The choir performs in two regular season concerts every year - once in December and once in May. The December concert is always focused on Christmas, while the May concert can take on a variety of themes.

We also take advantage of other community performance opportunities as they arise. Sometimes, we sing in nursing homes, other times we go on tour and perform at Festivals and other community events.

Our next concert happens on May 24 at All Saints' Anglican Cathedral at 7:30 p.m.
