GBCC, located in Owen Sound, invites singers ages five through 20 to join our multi-level program, designed to promote music literacy in many styles, genres and languages. We perform year-round at community events, seniors homes, church services, annual family concerts in May and December, as guests of other groups including the Georgian Bay Symphony Orchestra and Georgian Bay Concert Choir, and at music festivals, local, national and international.

We create a safe and encouraging environment for children to “find their voices, and then let them soar freely.” Regular season rehearsals run September through May, with additional rehearsals as required. Revenue is raised through membership fees, fundraising and donor sponsorship, with a generous bursary fund to ensure that no child who “needs to sing” is denied the opportunity. Come Sing with Us!

The choir of Grace Church on-the-Hill proudly embraces our excellent Anglican choral tradition while looking towards the future for new inspiration. Our choirs for both adults and children sing weekly from September to June. Our children’s choirs provide the ideal learning environment for young musicians, and we have funding available to subsidize the cost of music lessons for our children! Choristers of all ages develop lifelong friendships, self-esteem, and the joy of coming together to sing. We take a choir tour every year. Some tours are small, like a day trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake, and some tours are larger, such as our two week tour to sing in cathedrals in Dublin and Oxford in 2016. We welcome new members every September.

The Grand Philharmonic Choir, based in Kitchener, includes four choirs in one organization: an adult choir, a chamber adult choir, a youth choir and a children’s choir. We perform in large concert halls, at free public gatherings and in small, intimate settings. Under the direction of Mark Vuorinen, it is our mandate to present choral repertoire of the highest standard, to share our love of music with the public through varied outreach programs and to provide music education to our members and enlightenment to our audiences. We are one of a few large choirs in Canada, outside the major metropolitan areas, with the resources and community support to deliver a full choral season with professional musicians.
