Oasis Vocal Jazz, Toronto’s longest running close harmony ensemble, has been making a unique contribution to the city’s artistic life since 1985. Influenced by pioneers Lambert, Hendricks and Ross and inspired by modern-day masters of the genre such as New York Voices, Take 6 and Toronto’s own Cadence, we enjoy sharing our love of vocal jazz with a wide range of audiences. Whether performing in community or corporate events and charitable fundraisers, or putting on our own concerts backed by some of the city’s top jazz instrumentalists, we have always valued both the pursuit of musical excellence and the joy of making music with each other. We are always looking for new voices to add to our blend. For more information, contact us. Why not become a fan of our Facebook page?

The Oakville Choral Society has been an integral part of the Oakville community since 1960. Directed by David Bowser, we are a community-based choir of 60 to 80 members who love music, possess a true passion for singing and enjoy contributing culturally to the community. No auditions are required, however, a love of music and a willingness to learn are important. We perform a wide repertoire and are often joined by professional soloists and orchestra. Rehearsals are Tuesdays from 7:45pm to 10pm at St. Aidan’s Anglican Church, 318 Queen Mary Dr., Oakville, and registration is held in September and January. We hold two performances annually, in late April/early May and early December.
