Music, Choirs Ontario, and the Choristers Guild.

community concerts are given at Christmas and again in the spring. In

The Square in Kitchener including providing the children's chorus in
Britten's "War Requiem." The boys and young men have performed with
other young choirs throughout Ontario and have also given concerts for
Choirs Ontario, the Kodaly Society Of Ontario, and the Ontario Music
Educator's Association. The choir has performed on local and national
television, and five recordings have been produced.

Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Japan, Quebec City,
Montreal, Moosonee and Moose Factory, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington
