20200405083809 ChoirAchill is an 80-member mixed voice, auditioned choir composed of singers who are dedicated to becoming better musicians. We have been performing since 1982, with a repertoire that includes classical, contemporary, and traditional works.  Our artistic director, Shawn Grenke, is also the associate conductor and accompanist of the Amadeus Choir and accompanist of the Elmer Iseler Singers.

We normally rehearse at St. John’s Church, east of Orangeville and perform two concert series a year, with performances rotating between Alliston, Bolton and Orangeville. During this time when we cannot meet physically, we will be focused on singing and performing in new and creative ways and increasing our musical skills.

20200410130634 LR Fourth Edited 2019 Chorus PictureA Cappella Niagara is a vibrant male chorus performing four-part harmony in the Niagara region. As a member of our chapter you’ll not only experience the fun and fellowship of singing with the chorus and maybe a quartet, but you will also spread joy through performance, enriching your life and the lives of others. We share the delight of music at the Candlelight Stroll, Santa Claus parades, senior homes, district convention, annual Corn Roast, and other events. In February, our quartets deliver Singing Valentines to that special someone. Today, barbershop singing is a lot more than old tunes - we sing a wide range of styles, contemporary songs and fine arrangements.

It’s a sound that appeals to men of all ages and all walks of life. You’ll find four-part harmony is a little challenging, very creative, and a lot of fun.

Our April 2022 concert features Beethoven's Mass in C Major and Dobrogosz' exciting, jazz-inspired Mass. In June, Musica Borealis features diverse works from northern climes.

King Edward ChoirFounded in 1952 by Jean Dobson, Barrie’s King Edward Choir today is a group of 50 dedicated musicians encompassing all voices, under the direction of interim conductor, Leanne Edwards. We strive to present a broad repertoire that is engaging for both chorister and audience: recent years have seen performances of works by Britten, Mozart, Bernstein, Vivaldi, Mark Sirett, Stephanie Martin, Imant Raminsh and Ruth Watson Henderson, along with offerings of Renaissance motets, Spirituals, folk songs and show tunes. The choir frequently collaborates with other artists and groups, and enjoys community sing-outs. Rehearsals for our three annual performances take place Monday nights, and new members are always welcome! We don’t yet know what the new season will bring, but KEC will be there!

The Cummer Avenue United Church choir looks forward to returning to our newly renovated building in the fall of 2021 (included in the renovations will be a refurbished Casavant pipe organ). We are a group of volunteer singers, supported by professional section leads, that provides strong musical leadership for Sunday worship services.  Music is provided by a combination of small group ensembles and full choir. Plans are also in place for concerts and other musical events encompassing a wide range of musical styles. Initially, activities will be online, with a gradual return to in-person events as public health protocols allow.
