Hailed by composer Sid Robinovitch as “the wave of the future for choral music,” Prairie Voices is known for their passionate style of performance, which combines exceptional vocals with engaging presentation to provide the ultimate choral experience. We perform innovative contemporary choral music from all over the world, while placing an emphasis on Canadian and Manitoban composers. For more information, please visit www.prairievoices.ca.

After great success last year, Prairie Voices is happy to announce 'Guest Night' as an annual event! On April 5th we will be hosting an open rehearsal where interested singers can participate in a Prairie Voices rehearsal. All singers are invited to attend. No preparation is necessary, and all skill levels are welcome!

Teachers, if any of your choristers will be between the ages of 18-25 next year and would be interested in singing in Prairie Voices, we would like to invite them to attend. We are also happy to offer an information packet, including two short videos, song samples and a document of frequently asked questions, which should provide choristers with a better understanding of our ensemble. If you would like a copy of this packet, please contact info@prairievoices.ca and we will arrange to send one to you as soon as possible.
