Serenata Singers

We are delighted to welcome you to a full season of Joyful choral singing. This season promises to have something for everyone! The repertoire is based on the theme of the change and emotions that we’ve undergone over these past 3 years with COVID. It is about Community, Country, Nature, War and Renewal as well as a tribute to Sondheim, the great Composer and Lyricists. We have been entertaining our audiences for over 45 years and are thrilled to have continued through the dark days of COVID via Zoom, where we deepened bonds and friendships with our fellow choristers. We returned to singing together in September at the beautiful Scarborough Bluffs United Church, 3739 Kingston Road, under the direction of our artistic director, Jonathan Wong. Feel free to try us out for two free consecutive rehearsals before deciding to join us. If you are looking for an SATB choir that rehearses during the daytime, feel free to check us out!

Bel Canto Singers

Under the tutelage of Music Director Michael Morgan and Collaborative Pianist Jacqueline Mokrzewski, Bel Canto Singers presents two major concerts per year, in May and December. For 30 years we have entertained audiences with a varied repertoire, ranging from classical to contemporary, opera choruses to folk songs, and Broadway show tunes to spirituals. When Bel Canto was founded in 1993, the founding members envisaged a community choir that would provide fun and fellowship as well as excellence in singing for experienced and committed choristers. We continue in that tradition today.
