Spiritus Ensemble is a semi-professional choral-instrumental ensemble of 18 voices plus an orchestra of varying size that performs mainly the liturgical music of J.S. Bach and other music of the German Baroque. We perform four or five times a season in Kitchener-Waterloo, sometimes in concert and sometimes in a Bach Vespers format. Rehearsals take place on the two or three Saturday mornings preceding each performance. Performances are on Sundays at 4pm. During the 2017/18 season, Spiritus will perform Bach’s Cantatas 30, 79, and 98, as well as music by other composers Buxtehude, Mendelssohn, and Mozart.

SoundCrowd is Toronto's first large-scale a cappella choir. Founded in 2016 by artistic director Scott Pietrangelo, SoundCrowd made its concert debut singing with former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page at the Danforth Music Hall. Since then they have been seen singing at events around the GTA, and have even graced the stage of Carnegie Hall in NYC, performing with choirs from around the world under the direction of Deke Sharon (Pitch Perfect).
The ensemble's end-of-year concert, SoundCrowd Live, is being performed on Saturday, May 27 at St. Michael's College School Centre for the Arts (1515 Bathurst St.).
If you wish to be considered for the 2017/18 season, email an unlisted YouTube video audition of yourself singing to info@soundcrowd.ca. Meetings will be booked for June.
