The Camrose and Area Children’s Choirs have been an active part of the musical life of our community since 1999, with a Junior and Senior division since 2003, and an auditioned select ensemble (named Vivo Cantando, Spanish for ‘I Love to Sing’) since 2009.
Joy-Anne took over the choir in 2002, so this season marks TWENTY YEARS with Camrose and Area Children’s Choirs! Wow… It must be time to celebrate!!
The Jr and Sr Choirs are non-auditioned groups, meaning anyone with a love of singing can join at any level of ability. Vivo Cantando is an auditioned group for those singers who are able to read and learn music that is more challenging. RESOUND! is a new instrumental group - see below for more information.
We continue to be extremely proud of the level of musicianship we have achieved with our members each season, and to appreciate the continuity of membership the choirs have enjoyed over the past decade. When singers stick with our program, we are able to improve our level of musicianship that much more each year, and it brings the calibre of performance up for everyone involved.
Each year, our mandate of learning about great singing and musicianship leads us to perform in concerts, provide music for local charities and other community events, participate in the Camrose Music Festival, Festival of Trees and Jaywalker’s Jamboree, learn through workshops and choral festivals at both the local and provincial level and take field trip excursions to high-calibre choral, orchestral or theatrical performances.
is an auditioned ensemble offering those with a bit more experience (often through being in the choir!) a chance to explore more challenging music. The group is for those in grades 5 though high school, allowing anyone interested in pushing themselves this great chance to excel.
