Join the Alberta Avenue Choir!

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Looking for a way to get involved in the Alberta Ave community, make some friends and make music at the same time? We invite you to join a passionate group of music makers on our fair Ave, The Alberta Avenue Choir!

Alberta Avenue Choir is a new initiative that aims to use the love of singing as a great platform to enhance relationships in the general Edmonton community. Our singers are from broad backgrounds and different musical abilities, but our love for singing is what we all have in common. We have decided to focus our repertoire on music from all over the world, and since our director is from Africa, we have started our first two seasons by learning some music from Southern Africa.
