Building on the success of our 2022 JUNO Award-winning album, we're creating even more chances for Edmontonians to sing and collaborate with us. Are you passionate about African choral music or love singing in general? Join us for a unique opportunity to be part of something truly special as we rehearse and test exciting new material ahead of our next album!

These monthly choir sessions are your chance to immerse yourself in the rich harmonies, rhythms, and melodies of African-inspired music and contribute directly to the creative process leading up to our summer 2025 album recordings.

Rehearsals will be held once a month on Sunday afternoons in music classrooms across the city. Whether you're an experienced singer or new to African choral music, come share your voice, energy, and passion for music in this supportive and collaborative environment.

We are a non-profit organization, and we want everyone to have the opportunity to participate. If finances or transportation are a barrier, please don't hesitate to reach out. Contact us, and we will do our best to accommodate.

Save the dates: November 24th (2024), December 15th, January 26th (2025), February 23rd, March 30th, April 27th, May 25th and ending June 22nd.
