The Young Centre City Choir
Winter Semester registration now open!
Tuesday rehearsals 7-9pm

The Young Centre City Choir is a non-auditioned community choir directed by the Resident Artists of the Young Centre. The choir was launched in October 2010 and we are now accepting members for the upcoming semester.

Repertoire includes original material created by the Resident Artists as well as many different styles of music (jazz, pop, classical, folk, world, funk, and more). The only fundamental requirements are to have an open voice, heart and mind. The choir performs throughout the year at select Young Centre festivals and events. The choir’s next performances will take place during the Young Centre’s Global Cabaret Festival.

The first semester of the Young Centre City Choir will be starting on Tuesday, January 17.

Rehearsals will run for six weeks (last rehearsal on February 21).

As always, we will be holding rehearsals at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts in the Distillery District. Rehearsals run from 7pm-9pm, so we recommend that choir members arrive about 10 minutes before 7 in order to check in and get settled in the rehearsal space.

Choir members are expected to attend a minimum of 80% of rehearsals per semester in order to ensure that we are able to move forward with new material from week to week, as we are working towards a performance at the end of term (date to be announced).

If you would like to register for this semester, please send me an email – if you are a new member, please include your name, phone number and email address.

How to Join: If you are interested in joining the choir, you can sign-up by contacting Katie O'Halloran, Artistic Administrator, at katie@youngcentre.ca or 416-866-8666 ext. 443.
