About Assiniboine Chorus

About Assiniboine Chorus

Assiniboine Chorus is a membership organization of female singers who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have over 30 singers of all ages, all walks of life, and all parts of the Winnipeg and surrounding areas.

Our Mission Statement

The Assiniboine Chapter, through good leadership, education, competition, discipline and dedication, strives toward excellence and enjoyment in singing four-part harmony, Barbershop Style.

Land Acknowledgement

Assiniboine Chorus rehearses and performs in Winnipeg located within Treaty No. 1 Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinabe (Ojibway), Ininew (Cree), Oji-Cree, Dene, and Dakota, and is the Birthplace of the Métis Nation and the Heart of the Métis Nation Homeland.

Performance

The main purpose of Assiniboine Chorus is to get out and sing for our community.  We sing at annual shows, and a number of community events throughout Winnipeg and southern Manitoba. We are available to sing at your next function or event.

If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Book Us section.

Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a cappella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we receive coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop music where we hone our skills and learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.

Our Quartets

Many choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. Take a look  at "Our Quartets" section and get to know a little more about them. These quartets are for hire if you are looking for a smaller group to entertain at your gathering.

Friends of our Chorus

Some of our members not only sing with our Chorus, but form part of other Barbershop quartets and/or a cappella groups. These groups can be found in "Friends of our Chorus".
