Milton Choristers are a four-part adult community choir who have entertained audiences in the Halton Region for over 55 years. Our season runs from September to May 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 in Milton. A love of singing, some sight reading, a sense of rhythm, as well as a sense of humour 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.
