Welcome to Addison Women's Choir, Cambridge, Ontario
We meet once a week to practice and have several concerts a year.
The Addison Consort Singers was founded in 1982 by the late Duncan Addison.Today, the choir, now named the Addison Women’s Choir, continues to maintain an active schedule of performances throughout the Cambridge region. Our annual season includes three Christmas Concerts and a Spring Concert as well as occasional guest performances and benefit concerts.
We aim to build community by cultivating the rich potential of women’s voices through quality treble repertoire.We are committed to an inclusive membership for all women who love to sing as we continue to strive for musical and vocal excellence.
We enjoy a diverse range of sacred and secular classics, from early to contemporary, folk song arrangements, world music & popular standards. Every year we enjoy performances with the Cambridge Male Chorus. Other recent collaborations have been with the Waterloo Regional Police Male Chorus, the Inter-Mennonite Youth Choir, the Cambridge Kiwanis Boys Choir, choirs from high schools throughout the region, the Guelph Concert Band, the Chantry Singers of Port Elgin, ON, the Kessenyan Singers of Cornwall, UK, and The Edwin James Festival Chorus of West Sussex UK who have been our guests twice.
