"newchoir is a blessing, and it’s amazing what we learn and accomplish... I love our repertoire, and our sung tracks are excellent for practicing. I feel very connected to our special community singing together."

- Carol, newchoir Tenor

Thanks for your interest in joining newchoir! We have concluded accepting new members for the 2023/24 season, but here's all the info you need to know if you would like to be considered for a spot in the future:

Membership Dues: $675 (2023-2024 Season) 

Rehearsals: Mondays at 7:30pm - 9:30 pm at the  Church of the Redeemer (162 Bloor St. W)

Performances: 2-3 shows with full rock band, plus TBD performance opportunities throughout the year

Repertoire: Various pop and rock arrangements spanning decades and styles with a focus on Canadian content

New Members: Vocal assessments for next year will be posted in the summer, but if you'd still like to arrange a vocal assessment at any point in the meantime, please email newchoirofficial@gmail.com to set one up with us.

We currently do not have any vocal assessment sessions scheduled, but please keep checking back here for more.

Vocal Assessments: Are informal meetings over Zoom where you will be asked to sing a verse and chorus of a song, do a range test to determine your section, and possibly a few vocal exercises. To sing in newchoir you should have a working knowledge of music and be able to hold your own vocally. No formal training is required as we provide both scores and learning tracks for every part, but the ability to read music is an asset.
