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. 

Contact Holly at info(at)stairwellcarollers.com to set up an audition time.

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.
