Entering its 52nd season, the Etobicoke Centennial Choir is an auditioned SATB choir that provides a welcoming, high-calibre choral music experience for singers and audiences alike.
Fanshawe Chorus London has built a world-class reputation since its inception at Fanshawe College in 1969, by performing the finest in classical choral orchestral music. As a elite auditioned community choir conducted by artistic director David Holler, the chorus provides college-level training for adult singers and gives emerging vocal soloists the opportunity to perform professionally with orchestra. The chorus has won the prestigious Ontario Lieutenant-Governor’s Award twice, and was selected to sing at Ottawa’s National Arts Centre Canada Day celebrations during the 2010 visit of HRM Queen Elizabeth II. Winner of London’s Classical Vocal Group of the Year in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017, Fanshawe Chorus London offers talented adult singers an inclusive welcoming community committed to “Making Hearts Sing.”

Selected repertoire spans five centuries, including choral classics, contemporary works and popular music, ranging from Vivaldi to Dan Forrest to Joni Mitchell.
