West Toronto Community Choir
We are a small community choir serving Roncesvalles, Parkdale, the Junction and other surrounding communities. Rehearsals are Monday evenings 7pm to 8:45pm and take place at Roncesvalles United Church. Music is a mix of folk tunes and secular classical, with a few pop favourites thrown in. Our vibe is fun and social, with a focus on community engagement and low-pressure music-making. We have a mix of seasoned choristers and novices. Reasonable schedule and a small fee.

The Windsor Classic Chorale is an auditioned volunteer choir with a variety of backgrounds in professional music fields, and with a shared passion for music, singing and community. Founded in 1977 by Director Emeritus Richard Householder, the Chorale has become a core component of the local arts community, presenting an annual concert season and singing at a variety of other events throughout the Windsor area, from the Heritage Auditorium at the University Of Windsor to Pelee Island’s Stone & Sky historic quarry series, to All Saint’s Church, to Viewpointe Winery’s tractor parade, to carolling at Jackson Park’s Bright Lights to Caesar’s Windsor’s Colosseum, stage backing The Tenors. The Windsor Classic Chorale believes in honouring the tradition of choral music by singing it well, contributing to its growth and promoting it in our community.
The Yorkminstrels Show Choir is an SATB choir, founded in 1974 as an arm of the Yorkminstrels musical theatre company. We sing mostly Broadway music, with oldies, contemporary and seasonal songs added to the mix. With our repertoire, costumes and movement, the show choir has evolved into a unique group. We take entertainment into the community, doing occasional concerts throughout the season at seniors’ residences, and for condo/church/synagogue groups and fundraisers. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings at Cummer Lodge in North York, from September through June. A simple audition is required; note-reading is not essential. We are a warm, fun-loving and welcoming group, so if you enjoy singing, learning harmony and performing, we invite you to join us!
