Sharing Joy Through Song!

Achill — Your Community Choir since 1982!

ACHILL CHORAL SOCIETY WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS ON ZOOM

Achill is a welcoming community that strives to create a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment and we are looking for new choristers. If you love to sing choral music and like to learn please join us for our weekly online rehearsals. Although we cannot come together at this time, our plan is to meet as soon as it is safe to do so. Led by our Artistic Director Shawn Grenke and Collaborative Pianist Nancy Sicsic, we will be focusing on singing uplifting and fun pieces.

Beginning on January 12, our rehearsals will take place on Zoom every Wednesday from 7:00 to 8:30 P.M.  Please feel free to join us anytime throughout the season.

For Zoom rehearsals there are no fees or auditions. For further information please email info@achill.ca. Also, be sure to visit us on Facebook!

“Keep a Song in Your Heart!”

We have been working hard to keep our choir community together — and will continue to do so! Join us to be part of our coming productions!
This Hanukkah piece, Hanerot Halalu, was performed in Westminster United Church in Orangeville during Achill’s 2018 concert series “Never a Brighter Star“. We enjoy singing for you, and our audiences also enjoy singing with us at times! Choral singing connects us together!
