Guelph Chamber Choir

Get on the Map

Singers in the Guelph Chamber Choir represent various walks of life; their common bond is to foster community enjoyment and appreciation of choral music through performances, outreach, artistic collaboration, and community partnerships.

We remain an integral part of the strong musical heritage of Guelph. Our performances include repertoire from Renaissance masters to contemporary composers, from classical styles to Broadway and vocal jazz, and from unaccompanied choral gems to masterworks with full orchestra.

We often collaborate with other choirs from across Canada and within our own community. We have participated in festivals throughout Ontario and have toured Great Britain, Ireland, Germany and Sweden. Our success has been recognized through a number of broadcasts on national radio and prizes in the CBC National Competition for Amateur Choirs.

    High School Workshop with Waleed Abdulhamid – Winter 2023 GCC welcomes Sudanese guest artist Waleed Abdulhamid, Director of City Choir, in an exciting workshop and performance. Combining youth singers from local high school choral programs and members of GCC, Waleed will lead the group in the creation of a new choral work. This project will provide: - an opportunity to learn about North African musical traditions, instruments, melodies, rhythms, and philosophy - teach a different style of learning than the traditional score-reading music through improvisation and aural instruction - musicianship development for talented youth musicians - creation and premiere of a new cross-cultural work, expanding the choral experience in Canada.
