The 2026-27 choral season promises to be an exceptional experience for all returning and new choristers.  Choristers new and returning will enjoy singing in the choir and will develop a love of great choral music that will last a lifetime.

FIRST REHEARSAL

The first rehearsal will be on Thursday, Sept. 10th.  Junior Choir: 6:30-7:30 pm. Senior Choir: 6:30-8:00 pm.  Rehearsals are held at Scarboro United Church, 134 Scarboro Ave. SW.  Fees are due at the first rehearsal of each term.  Junior Choir $325.00, Senior Choir $375.00. Please pay by e-transfer to jeanczaja34@gmail.com.  To make other arrangements or to request financial assistance, please contact Jean Czaja at 807-464-2761.

ATTENDANCE

In order to maintain our high standard of excellence, it is important that all members attend rehearsals as often as possible.  Members of the Westside Concert Choir learn a lot of music in fourteen rehearsals and one workshop in the first term.  Children who are frequently absent do not develop the confidence to perform well.

FALL WORKSHOP

The fall workshop will likely be on Saturday, November 15th at Scarboro Church.  Juniors and Seniors :10 am to 2 pm.  This date will be confirmed before the end of summer.

PERFORMANCES

Both the Junior Choir and the Senior Choir will perform at the Calgary Carol Festival at Knox United Church in early December.  The date and time will be sent to you when I receive the information from the festival organizers.  Our Christmas Concert will be held at McDougall United Church on Friday, December 19^th at 7:30 pm.  Admission:  Adults – $20.00, Children 12 and under – $10.00.

Please pay for the number of people in your party by e-transfer to Jeanczaja34@gmail.com

Please contact me by email or phone it you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you for supporting your children as they pursue excellence in the art of choral singing.
