Bytown Voices sings in Britannia Park, July 23, 2021

On a warm Friday evening, 50 members of the Bytown Voices met for the first time in person since March 2020 for a workshop in singing in harmony with no sheet music -  singing what we were taught instantly by guest choral conductor Robert Filion. In an hour, with cars roaring, busses passing and gulls fighting for scraps of food we learned three new "rounds" or perpetual canons.  Choristers all sang with masks on and we kept our distance "social".

President John Waddington looks back
at a year on ZOOM

What a year it has been! Our last rehearsal together was on 10 March 2020, and we have all had to learn new ways to sing. We have had three unusual but successful choral sessions, each carefully put together by our Director, Joan Fearnley, with specific purposes in mind to suit the well over 80 individuals taking part in one or more sessions.  To read more...

Bytown Voices
Has kept on singing during the pandemic  

To play our part in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in a safe and responsible manner, the Bytown Voices Community Choir cancelled its in-person  rehearsals and public performances for the remainder of the 2020 year and up to the end of June 2021.

Bytown Voices has now completed three virtual sessions using ZOOM technology.

    What is the Bytown Voices? 

The Bytown Voices is a non-audition (i.e. no audition required to join) community choir made up of more than  60 enthusiastic singers from across the Ottawa (ON) region. The choir is SATB: sopranos, altos, tenors and basses. Normally, we perform two concerts per year, with additional outreach concerts at seniors' residents and long term care facilities.

Regular  rehearsal and concerts will resume when circumstances permit.
