Maintaining balance in the development of the child as a musician, performer and responsible citizen is an important part of the Choir’s philosophy. The Calgary Children’s Choir teaches the highest quality repertoire to the highest standard while promoting this development.

The discipline of regular practice, formal choir presentations, international tours and involvement in community events are the means by which this balanced development is pursued.

Assemble of songs about Hope.

Where can we find Hope? Among a thousand stars, amid the splendours of the sun, or from tough times, and from those that have gone before us.

We also seek Hope in finding a new sewing machine for a town, and in finding love with others, through our jobs.

Let’s find Hope together at our annual folk concert featuring Junior’s, Children’s and Youth Choirs.

Throughout the year, choir members have one to two regular weekly rehearsals and occasional additional rehearsals. The program also consists of special rehearsals with a variety of local clinicians, and special camps, workshops and tours.

A sense of community, fellowship and caring for one another has always been the hallmark of the Calgary Children’s Choir. This is in abundant evidence during choir camps and on tours.
