Remembrance Day

Our singers have been hard at work learning their songs for tomorrow’s municipal Remembrance Day ceremony here in Whistler.

Through the efforts of local citizens, our cenotaph has been moved from the village fire hall to a more accessible site in Olympic Plaza. This will be our first year at the new site so we took a short ‘field trip’ a few weeks ago during choir practice to visit the site and sing our songs there.

This year’s ceremony will also be the first time that the bilingual version of O Canada will be sung as part of our ceremony.

If you’re in Whistler on Saturday, November 11th, our Remembrance Day ceremony begins at 10:30am at the cenotaph in Olympic Plaza (by the flags). Come and join the Whistler Children’s Chorus and the Whistler Singers as we honour those brave men and women who have served our country.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Although it hasn’t begun to snow yet, the choirs are busy preparing music for the upcoming holiday season. With caroling events beginning next weekend (November 25th), we can’t be too prepared! Check out our events page to see where to find the choirs over the weeks leading up to Christmas. Don’t forget to mark December 11th on your calendars. Our annual concert to benefit the Whistler Food Bank will be at Our Lady of the Mountains Church on Sunday, December 11th at 5 pm. A Christmas Tale will feature songs that tell a story with some new – A Porcupine in a Pine Tree – as well as some annual favourites – Six White Boomers. Admission is by donation to the Whistler Food Bank so come join us for some holiday cheer.

Whistler remembers

We were so proud of the amazing singing as well as the respectful behaviour of our choir members during Whistler’s Remembrance Day ceremony. Despite the rain, there were many in attendance.  The sound was great – thanks to our amazing sound guy Andrew – and the Whistler Children’s Chorus and Whistler Singers were in fine voice.

Off to a great singing start

The choir sang wonderfully & scarily at our first concert of the year. Our Lady of the Mountains Church was the gathering place for ghouls, witches, mummies, lions, stormtroopers, princesses and so much more at our Harvest Moon concert held on October 30th. The concert was a great start to our singing year!

Christmas Caroling

Thank you to everyone who came out this evening to share the holiday spirit with members of the Whistler Children’s Chorus, Whistler Singers, Whistler Community Band, Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church, and Whistler Waldorf School as we caroled through Whistler Village and then held a Holiday Sing-Along at Millennium Place.

A big thank you to the Whistler Arts Council and staff who provided the venue and made this event possible.
