Announcing SING THE NORTH Season 3
We hope you will join us for our third Virtual Choir Tour - the first to include both Canadian and International tours!
This page lists all pieces sung by our two virtual choirs STN (our founding virtual choir) and STN Ice (our choir for cutting-edge choral music).
We also run STN Fridays, our kitchen party choir, which is singing so much this season that it is listed separately here.
You are welcome in all our projects.
You can join us by registering for any individual project(s), or you can sing at a significant discount on one of our Season Passes.
View our full Season 3 Calendar - UPDATED Jan 1, 2023.
We are looking forward to singing with you!
