The early bee gets the honey! 

Yeah, I know, they MAKE honey. They actually gather pollen and nectar.
Any way...

Don't miss your chance to be a member of Ottawa's Stairwell Carollers!  Choral Auditions this Wednesday August 30th for our 2023 Christmas season of song.

Did you know...

- we have two Christmas concerts planned for 2023 At Southminster and St Columba

- During the pandemic, the Stairwell Carollers performed as a virtual choir on YouTube . Director Massie edited together the virtual concert from choir members’ video submissions. “Singing alone at home is nothing like performing for a live audience,” says Massie. “Now that we’re back to in-person rehearsals, it’s been gratifying to hear our voices come together in harmony again and enjoy the camaraderie and social interaction unique to a small choral ensemble.”

- The Stairwell Carollers are now in an active search for new voices with a focus on adding several more voices in their tenor and bass sections.

- In-person auditions will be held by appointment Wed August 30th 2023 at St Columba church.  Xmas Season startup is on Sept 6. 

- A solid voice, a good ear and a great attitude are all candidates need to qualify. Reading music is an asset but not a necessity.
