Maintaining balance in the development of the child as a musician, performer and responsible citizen is an important part of the Choirโs philosophy. The Calgary Childrenโs 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.

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