Read Profile

Originally formed as the Peterborough Symphony Singers in 1990, the Peterborough Singers (PS) became a stand-alone entity in 1993. This highly regarded choir boasts upwards of 120-plus members under the direction of founding conductor Sydney Birrell. Each season, the choir presents four concerts, incorporating a blend of repertoire from gospel to sacred and pop to oratorio. World-class, professional Canadian soloists enjoy performing with the choir time and again. The PS also makes a point of incorporating young emerging artists into their season, giving them a chance to perform alongside some of the more seasoned performers.

Specially commissioned music from Canadian composers is part of the regular repertoire. The Singers also hold weekly music classes enabling young musicians to gain the skills required for Choral music performance. The season ahead will feature Bach's great St. Matthew Passion. The Peterborough Singers have just completed their 30th Anniversary season and are proud of their contribution to the arts within our community and surrounding areas.
