Excellent Musical Training
We help develop your singing skills from relaxation and posture to vocal production,
range expansion, ear training and understanding of rhythm. The musical team is available
for one on one coaching on request. The chorus conducts several workshops throughout
the year, often with guest coaches and trainers. On top of that, chorus members have the
opportunity to participate in 'Harmony College' which takes place twice a year.

throughout the year. Every Christmas, we perform at shopping malls, local
schools and seniors centres. In addition, we participate in a spring and fall contest organized
