MenAloud! is a relaxed and welcoming male chorus, blending a passion for music with the joy of camaraderie. We sing music you love to hear - from popular classics to timeless pops. Everyone has input when selecting our musical favourites. Our performances are community-based, as well as in wider choral events. Whether a seasoned vocalist or a casual music enthusiast, MenAloud! invites you to join our harmonious community. Though not an auditioned choir, some musical experience is preferred. The first requirement is a love of choral music!

We meet on Tuesdays from 7-9 pm at Richview United Church, 149 Wellesworth Dr, Etobicoke. You’re invited to listen and look us over a few evenings before you make a commitment. For more information, please visit our website.
