The Renaissance Singers is a mixed chamber choir performing music of the 15th to 20th centuries. In its 28-year history, the choir has performed widely throughout southern Ontario and the United Kingdom. The Singers are based in Kitchener-Waterloo but have members from the surrounding communities as well.
Their repertoire includes music from all centuries, including many commissioned works of leading Canadian composers such as Barrie Cabena, Leonard Enns, Robert Evans, Richard Cunningham and Imant Raminsh.

The Singers have been featured frequently on local and national television. Excerpts from its first commercial recording, Sing Joyfully are broadcast regularly on local and national radio. The Singers’ second CD, Christmas in a Northern Land, features seasonal compositions by Canadian composers. The choir completed a third CD of music by contemporary Canadian composer Nick Peros in 1999.
 
The choir tours Kingston/Ottawa this September and is planning a 2003 tour to Britain including performances in Lincoln, Ripon and Carlisle Cathedrals and Lancaster Priory.
