Echo is an adult, treble-voice, non-auditioned choir which welcomes women, trans, and non-binary folks in a strong, inclusive, mutually supportive community in the heart of Toronto. Ever since its founding as a women’s choir in 1991, Echo has been committed to a unique and eclectic repertoire focusing on social justice, musical excellence and passionate expression. We collaborate frequently with musicians who enrich our repertoire with music from diverse cultures and in a broad range of genres.

 WHAT’S NEW in September 2026 

We have formally changed our name to ECHO Choir to emphasize our inclusivity as an adult treble-voice, non-auditioned choir which welcomes women, trans, and non-binary folks. We look forward to working with Katie White as our new Artistic Director. Katie has experience in a variety of musical contexts, including opera, musical theatre, and choral leadership. She has worked with our former Artistic Director, Alan Gasser, for the past three years and is eager to build on our legacy as well as to introduce new repertoire to the choir. 

We bade farewell to our longstanding Artistic Director, Alan Gasser, who contributed so much to Echo over his thirty-three years of leadership. Thank you, Alan! He will continue to support Echo in a consultative role.
