Milton Choristers are a four-part adult community choir who have entertained in the Halton Region for over 54 years. Our season runs from September to June with two major concerts, often including premium guest soloists and musicians. We sing a wide-ranging repertoire from classical to contemporary. Rehearsals are Tuesday nights from 7:30pm to 9:30pm at Knox Presbyterian Church, 170 Main St. East Milton. A love of singing, some sight reading and a sense of rhythm, as well as a sense of humor are definite assets.

The choir is dedicated to helping expand each person's musical ability, however members are also encouraged to spend time outside rehearsals to learn the music. Electronic midi files by section are also available for your learning assistance.

The Peterborough Singers was founded in 1993 under the energetic and creative leadership of director Sydney Birrell. We are an auditioned 100-voice choir of adults and youth which attracts members and audience from Peterborough, the Kawarthas, and around the Lakeshore. We are committed to featuring new talent and each season we introduce one or more emerging soloists.

We perform four concerts each year: a Yuletide concert, Handel’s Messiah, an oratorio, and one concert dedicated to music outside the box of regular classical programming. For the 2023/24 season we will be performing Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and The Songbook of Elton John.

Rehearsals are held Wednesday evenings from September to May in Peterborough. We are especially looking for tenors and basses for our 2023/24 season.
