Welcome statement
The Kanata Choral Society performs a wide variety of choral repertoire, from the Baroque period to a variety of contemporary music. Works from masters such as Haydn and Mozart to Leonard Cohen‘s Hallelujah. Our passion for music allows us to create exceptional performances that resonate with our audience. We usually perform three concerts a year: at Christmas and in March and May.

We provide a vibrant and inclusive space and welcome singers from all levels and backgrounds.

The choir welcomes new members. Rehearsals are held Monday nights from 7:15 to 9:30p.m. at St. Paul‘s Anglican Church, 20 Young Road, Kanata.

Our first rehearsal on September 9, 2024 is an open rehearsal where people who like to sing can come and find out what choral singing is all about. So come out and give it a try. We'd love to see you! Students under age 25 may receive credits for joining the choir and special membership considerations apply to them. See more information about members Here or email us
