SING THE NORTH
SING THE NORTH is a global family of choirs that welcomes singers from around the world.
Led by founding Artistic Director and Conductor Kathryn Whitney since 2020, we offer singers the chance to perform high-quality Canadian choral works as part of a welcoming family of choristers. Singers around the world are invited to raise their voices with us, whether on our recordings, or at our in-person choral courses, workshops, and concerts.
Our two Recording Choirs - SING THE NORTH and STN Ice - rehearse online. In collaboration with our audiographer, Stephen Ross, we produce industry-standard audio and video recordings of both traditional and cutting-edge Canadian choral music and promote these to our global audience.
To encourage friendship and understanding of diverse cultures, composers, and lands, our Recording Choirs travel on the STN Virtual Choir Tour Bus to meet people living and working in the areas we are singing about. They also often attend live online sessions with our composers, offering rare insight into the inspiration behind the works we are singing.
Every year, choristers from far and wide come together to sing in person at our week-long Summer Choral Festival, which takes place in Victoria, on beautiful Vancouver Island off the West Coast of Canada, each July.
The door is always open to our STN Fridays Virtual Kitchen Parties, where we gather online to sing-along with folk musicians from across Canada and around the world.
You are welcome in all our choirs.
To join us, simply register for any projects, courses, or events on this site, then check your email for your course or project downloads.
