St Luke's Choir: Fall 2023-Spring 2024
General Info about Rehearsals
The Choir rehearses in the church on Thursday evenings from 7-8:30 pm starting the Thursday after Labour Day exploring the rich heritage of hymns and anthems from the Anglican Communion and other faith communities. Choir season ends on the Sunday in June that preceeds Canada Day (excluding July 1 falling on a long weekend). In July and August the choir takes a well-deserved break from offering a weeky anthem.
**************
St. Luke's Choir is a multi-generational group of enthusiastic, friendly, and cheerful volunteer singers. Singing in a choir improves vocal health, breath control, flexibility, range, resonance and projection. With a focus on strong vocal techniques, each singer will flourish with ease to ensure a long life of healthy singing!
We aspire to sing choral repertoire that is accessible to singers of all abilities. Repertoire includes sacred traditional and contemporary anthems from the 6th to the 21st centuries, and world music such as Taizé chants, folk and gospel songs, and music from the African and Asian continents.
In addition, the choir, guest choristers, and invited soloists prepare special music for services on the first Sunday in Advent, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the Lessons and Carols for the Feast of Epiphany service, and for services during Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost Sunday, Thanksgiving and the Sunday preceding Remembrance Day.
