Etobicoke Centennial Choir

Read Profile

Etobicoke Centennial Choir (ECC) is a SATB semi-professional choir dedicated to celebrating the art and joy of choral music with performances of repertoire ranging from classical masterpieces to contemporary compositions and music from around the world. Rehearsals are held every Tuesday evening, from September to June, at Humber Valley United Church in Etobicoke.

Our 2026–27 season marks a significant milestone in the choir's history as ECC celebrates its 60th anniversary. The season opener will feature Bach’s Cantata no. 140, Sleepers Awake, Galuppi’s shining Magnificat in G and Buxtehude’s Das neugeborne Kindelein (The Newborn Child), with accompaniment by a Baroque orchestra.

Brahms’ monumental Ein deutsches Requiem with orchestral accompaniment anchors an uplifting spring evening of music. The program includes Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine and Brahms’ lyrical Two Songs for Alto, Viola and Piano.

In closing, landscapes of day and night will be explored through Erik Esenvalds’ Northern Lights and Eric Whitacre’s luminous Lux Aurumque. New choral works from ECC’s own composers will be featured, alongside Night Songs, by Artistic Director Henry Renglich and Governor General Award-winning author and chorister, Sarah Henstra.
