Fees and Audition Requirements
Interested singers are invited to the first rehearsal in September and January for a group audition. All voice parts are welcome, especially tenors and basses. Some sight-reading ability and good vocal quality are pre-requisites.
Rehearsals are held Monday nights from 7:15 pm to 9:30 pm at St. Paul's Anglican Church, 20 Young Road. Rehearsals start again on Monday, September 11, 2023, which is an open rehearsal. Rehearsals resume for members of the Kanata Choral Society with an invitation to anybody who likes to sing to come and find out what choral singing is all about at the open rehearsal.
At this Open Rehearsal you will meet people who love to sing, are very friendly and meet on a weekly basis in order to show off their final product in a glorious concert.
The choir performs three concerts per year and takes part in benefit concerts.
The music genre ranges from classic to popular. So come out and give it a try, we love to see you! at 7:15 pm.
