London Chorus Brings Festive Cheer to the Christkindl Market

London Chorus Brings Festive Cheer to the Christkindl Market

On November 23, a group of our London Chorus members had the joy of singing at the charming Christkindl Market hosted by the German-Canadian Club in London, Ontario. This beloved annual event brings together the best of the season — holiday vendors, handmade gifts, festive treats, and a wonderfully warm community spirit.

Our singers were welcomed by an enthusiastic audience who filled the space with smiles, applause, and holiday cheer. It was a delight to share some of our favourite seasonal selections and help set the tone for the start of the Christmas season.


A Cool Cat Christmas

A Cool Cat Christmas: A Purrfect Start to the Holiday Season!

What a wonderful way to kick off the Christmas season! A Cool Cat Christmas, our 2025 holiday show, held on November 22, was everything we hoped it would be — joyful, sparkly, and full of harmony. From the first downbeat to the final chord, the afternoon was filled with festive music, laughter, and the warm energy of our amazing audience. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped ring in the season in true “purrfect” style!


Take us out to the ball game! 

UPDATE! We can’t help but wonder now if we brought a little extra good luck to the Jays… they did win the opening game of the World Series after all!

Take us out to the ball game! 

Many of our chorus members are big Blue Jays fans—and in true harmony spirit, we brought out our kazoos to cheer on the team with a special rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” 

Good luck to the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend—we’re rooting for you! 


Doors Open London Performance!

What a wonderful afternoon! 

On Sunday, September 21, we had the joy of singing for visitors at the beautiful Elsie Perrin Williams Estate during Doors Open London. The venue’s stunning setting and incredible acoustics made it a truly memorable experience!

A huge thank-you to everyone who made this event possible, and to all who stopped by to listen—it was such a pleasure to share our music with you. 

And if you loved what you heard - or if you missed us - mark your calendars! Our Annual Christmas Show is coming up on Saturday, November 22, 2025 at the Church of the Ascension. It's an afternoon of harmony and holiday cheer you won’t want to miss! Details are coming soon!

Fall Music School Fun!

Region 2 Fall Music School

We had an amazing time at Region 2’s Fall Music School—learning, laughing, and filling the weekend with harmony! The energy was inspiring, and we were thrilled to cheer on the Colour Chorus performances.

The weekend was packed with highlights:


Singing in the Park!

A huge thank-you to everyone who came out to Pinafore Park in St. Thomas to enjoy an evening of music with us at the bandshell! 

The sunshine, the beautiful setting, and the warm support from the audience made it a joy to share our harmony. We had a blast singing for you!

Until next time—keep a song in your heart.


Welcoming New Voices to London Chorus!

This spring/summer has been a season of exciting growth for London Chorus, as we’ve welcomed not just one, but three incredible new members to our risers! Each has brought her own energy, talent, and love of music, adding strength to our sound and joy to our community.

  • Dawn joined our bass section, bringing warmth, resonance, and a welcoming smile that grounds our harmony.


Striking a Chord for Canada!

London Chorus showed up in full red and white to wish you a joyful and harmony-filled Canada Day!

We’re proud to celebrate this beautiful country with the voices and friendships that bring us together. Wherever you are today, may your heart be full and your songs be true north strong!

We acknowledge that our chorus rehearses on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Lunaapeewak, and Attawandaron peoples, within the territory of the Three Fires Confederacy.


It Takes a Chorus!

At London Chorus, it’s not just the singing that makes us shine—it’s the incredible teamwork that happens behind the scenes. From board members to choreographers, fundraisers to riser-wranglers, and so many more… it truly takes everyone to keep the harmony going strong.

This week, we handed out certificates of thanks to everyone who plays a role in making our chorus thrive—and surprise—that means all of us! 

Here’s to every voice, every helping hand, and every heart that keeps our chorus standing tall and singing proud!
