Toronto Welsh Male Voice ChoirThe Toronto Welsh Male Voice Choir (TWMVC) was established in 1995 by its first president, Gwyn Roberts. The choir continues to grow musically under the direction of William Woloschuk and principal accompanist Matthew Coons. Our blend of traditional and contemporary music, all sung off book in accordance with tradition, appeals to a broad audience.

We typically perform 10 to 12 concerts per season, in the GTA area and further afield in southern Ontario. We have undertaken major tours in Wales, the East Coast, western Canada, and Newfoundland. We remain true to our Welsh tradition; we also include songs in several other languages in our repertoire.

We are always searching for new concert opportunities and for committed singers to join us. We practice every Wednesday; come along to a rehearsal, and see our website for details.

West Toronto Community Choir (WTCC) is a joyful gathering of people who genuinely love to sing. Founded in 2016, our choir comes together weekly to make music, connect with one another, and foster a strong sense of community through shared creative expression. We believe in the power of collective singing—not just for the music itself, but for the friendships, laughter, and belonging it cultivates. We are a 135-member, mixed-voice, secular adult choir serving the vibrant communities of Roncesvalles, Parkdale, the Junction, and surrounding areas. Our members include a blend of seasoned choristers and those new to singing—no auditions are required, and all voices are welcome. Our vibe is casual, warm, and community-first, with an emphasis on shared music-making rather than perfection.
