WHAT’S NEW THIS TERM
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 remain a strong, inclusive, mutually supportive community in the heart of Toronto, which has been committed to a unique and eclectic repertoire focusing on social justice, musical excellence and passionate expression since 1991.
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 bid farewell to our longstanding Artistic Director, Alan Gasser, who contributed so much to Echo over his 33 years of leadership. Alan will continue to support Echo in a consultative role.
Rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays and the occasional Saturday at Church of the Holy Trinity. (See schedule below.) We will have a workshop with fall guest artist Nicole Joy-Fraser, an open rehearsal, orientation for new members, sectionals, break-end singing, and more! We will be learning and practising new songs in preparation for our winter concert.
Season Fees are $200. (Sept. 8 – Dec. 6)
We make singing accessible to all through sliding scale membership fees.
