We are an award-winning, volunteer-based auditioned men’s chorus, offering a wide range of a capella music---barbershop, inspirational, jazz, pop, soft rock---all designed to both bring back fond memories and to create memorable new ones.

Representing the Hamilton chapter of the Ontario District of the Barbershop Harmony Society, we have been entertaining at home and abroad since 2003. As a not-for-profit community group, we seek to promote a love of singing and an appreciation for choral music.

Under the direction of Jordan Travis we are always eager to support our community by, volunteering to perform at district events as well as presenting our own concerts in the Burlington Performing Arts Centre several times a year.

HWS was originally formed as a youth choir to celebrate Dr. Willan’s 125th anniversary in 2005. Since 2007, the choir has reinvented itself into one of the finest women’s ensembles in the city. Rehearsals are Saturdays from 10:15am to 12:30pm, from September to April. This coming season, the choir will perform a late November program titled “Carols and Lullabies” and at the end of April a concert of music transformed from other repertoire into music for women’s choir, featuring Mozart’s Missa in C “Spatzenmesse” with orchestra. The choir performs repertoire from Gregorian chants to contemporary new works, especially by women and Canadian composers. Auditions are held year-round. Rehearsals and concerts are held at the Church of St. Martin in-the-Fields, 151 Glenlake Ave. in the Keele and Bloor St. W. area.

Since 2003, this SATB non-auditioned teaching choir has enabled adult amateur singers to improve their singing technique and performance skills in full choir, small-group and solo settings. In an open and engaging atmosphere, members enjoy an eclectic repertoire that evolves with their interests, and have the opportunity to sing solos at our cabarets, choral concerts, and annual composer study performance. The director/conductor, Ben D’Cunha, trains members in vocal technique, sight-reading, theory and improvisation, and writes the arrangements for the choir. Rehearsals are held September to June on Tuesdays (7pm to 9pm), with sectionals on Mondays (7pm to 9pm). Registration for the 2018/19 season starts on June 1.
