Novi Singers Toronto
Novi Singers Toronto is a SATB choir, led by accomplished musical director Matthew Jaskiewicz. Now in its fourth season, NST perform a varied and ambitious repertoire, including sacred, classical, medieval, jazz, opera and folk pieces, and sing in multiple languages.
In addition to annual Christmas concerts and performances celebrating Polish Independence each November, NST are frequently invited to sing at special events, such as the commemoration of 1050 years of Polish Christianity. They continue a fruitful collaboration with Toronto Sinfonietta, distinguished soloists, guest artists and musical ensembles.
NST welcome new members with a commitment to excellence, and offer opportunities to enhance musical skills at Wednesday evening practices (71 Judson St., Etobicoke), and Saturday intensive workshops.

For nearly 25 years, OCCY (formerly The Oakville Children’s Choir) has provided exceptional music education and leadership training to young people. We believe that providing a fun, safe and educational space for youth to express themselves encourages them to find their voice and use it as a force for good in this world. Currently, we offer a collaborative and comprehensive choral music education program to over 200 young people, exploring a wide range of repertoire, diverse musical programming, and high standards of performance. We are proud of the choral collaborations that we have created with other arts and community organizations, both locally and internationally through our touring program. We continue to focus on empowering all youth to use their voice to lead, connect, learn, and build confidence in their community and beyond.
ORIANA Women’s Choir is an auditioned ensemble of 30-40 amateur female singers who set a high artistic standard. With artistic director Mitchell Pady, ORIANA explores the possibilities in choral music for the female voice, collaborating with diverse artists to push the boundaries of typical expectations for women’s choirs. We foster the creation of Canadian choral music, regularly commissioning works from Canadian composers for women’s voices. In rehearsal we are focused but friendly, and maintain an inclusive, respectful and supportive environment. ORIANA presents a three-concert series every year at Grace Church on-the-Hill. We welcome potential new singers to attend a rehearsal prior to scheduling an audition. Rehearsals are on Tuesdays, 7:30pm to 10pm, in the Sheppard-Yonge corridor.
