The Choirs are operated by the Elk Island Regional Honor Choirs Association and offer three auditioned choirs for students residing in the Strathcona County and surrounding areas. Choristers range in ages from 5 to 19.
The choirs exist to enrich the musical experience of gifted amateur singers and are funded in part by membership fees, fundraising, business sponsorships and grants. Choirs practice weekly, with three concerts annually, including the Imagine Concert, which raises funds for a cause important to the choristers. In addition, the Secondary choir tours within Canada and the Junior choir performs at local schools. All of the choirs participate in additional events such as performing at music festivals, the Festival of Trees, at nursing homes, churches, sporting and other public events. A music retreat is planned annually.
If you love to sing and want to share your voice, currently we are holding auditions for Secondary Choir only. Tiny Trebles and Junior Choirs auditions are now closed. Please contact our choir manager, Hannah White, at 780-902-6793 or manager.elkislandchoirs@gmail.com to arrange an audition with the choir director. We will be accepting auditions for the second half of the season starting the first week of January 2022.
