member choirs in the rest of Canada

If you do not see an existing Ubuntu Network choir in your region, but would like to start one (or know someone who might), please consider the Community Choir Leadership Training (CCLT) program. Many of the directors of Ubuntu Network member choirs have gone through this program.
Les chorales Allez chante! (Montréal, Québec)
info@allezchante.ca 514-903-1517
Directrice/Director Evemarie Brunelle (CCLT 2008-2009)
Les chorales Allez Chante! sont avant tout un lieu de ressourcement.
Parce que chanter ça fait du bien!

On y entre sans audition, tous sont bienvenus.
On s’étire, on respire, on réchauffe notre voix.
On explore des rythmes et on apprend des chants de partout dans le monde.
On chante des pièces variées, à l’unisson, en canon et à plusieurs voix.
 
À la fin de chaque chanson nous observons une courte pause silencieuse

Nous chantons dans une ancienne salle d'église qui offre une résonnance acoustique exceptionnelle!
 
Consultez le site internet pour les dates, heures et autres détails.

Above all, Allez Chante! Choirs are a source of enrichment.

OSSIA (Owen Sound, ON)

directed by Louise Jarvis (CCLT7 2010)

"OSSIA" is a musical term that suggests an alternative and stems from the Latin "or let it be" so we think it's a great word for this interesting choir. As an acronym, it stands for Owen Sound Singers in Accord.

Everyone who loves to sing is invited to join. There are no auditions, and no special skill set is needed. We sing and learn a variety of musical styles from many different cultures and traditions. Some songs are taught "by ear" and others are learned from the written music. Some are simple rounds, some are SATB. There are both men and women in this growing group, and a range of ages. At our concerts, we invite the audience to join some songs, and we donate the proceeds to a needy local organization.
OSSIA is about belonging, laughter, and the delight of singing in community.
