The
Bytown
Voices is a non-audition community choir made up of
about 50 enthusiastic singers from across the Ottawa region. In 1999 when the
Glebe Singers became a women's choir, several of the members approached
Ann McNamee, their accompanist, to form a new choir, which became the
Bytown Voices. Since 2004, when Ann emigrated to Jamaica, the choir has
been directed by Robert Jones. Our accompanist is Brenda Beckingham. We perform two concerts a year, with additional outreach performances at seniors' residences and long-term care facilities. |
New members are always welcome. We practice every Tuesday night from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at St. Basil's Church, which is located at 940 Rex Avenue, off Maitland Avenue, between Carling Avenue and the Queensway. Singers
pay $95 per semester, for 2 semesters each school year. Full-time students under 30, half price. The fees are designed to cover our expenses with no additional fundraising. New people can
try us for a couple of rehearsals and see if you like us. Then we’ll accept your money! If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail us at bytownvoices@gmail.com. |
