CALGARY MEN'S CHORUS SOCIETY

The Calgary Men’s Chorus Society is a non-profit society dedicated to excellence and innovation in the performance of a broad spectrum of tenor bass and baritone (TTBB) choral music. We promote Canadian musicians and artists music written by Canadian composers and arrangers as well as queer musicians artists and arrangers. Through choral music we encourage a sense of community and positive self-image among the queer community and build important bridges of unity and understanding to the choral community and the greater public. The chorus is non-auditioned and is open to all who sing in TTBB voice regardless of socio-economic status physical ability or musical experience. The CMC fall season begins in September and new singers will be welcome to join the chorus. Concerts during the fall included: Winter Concert: de-sumbrrr We kicked off the season with a less-than-traditional Christmas concert turning the idea of 'Christmas in July' on its head for a 'Summer in December' twist.
