Provincial Honour Choirs

The Provincial Honour Choirs (PHC) Program provides an opportunity for talented singers of all ages from all regions of Manitoba to sing together in an extraordinary choral experience!

2012 Marks PHC's 30th Annivrsary

To cellebrate, MCA has aquired four outstanding conductors for an exceptional weekend of learning, singing and so much fun. They are: Bruce Cable (Edmonton AB), Melanie DeMore (Oakland CA) Scott Leithead (Edmonton AB), and Mark Sirett (Kingston ON)... Wow! see their bios

PHC began as part of the Provincial Choral Festival in 1982. By 1987, the conference needed a weekend of its own. Between 70 to 80 auditioners across Manitoba chose singers from all regions of the province to participate in two choirs; the Junior Choir [grades 6 - 8] and the Senior Choir [grades S1 - S4]. Gordon Bell High School in Winnipeg has hosted the conference since 1987.

2012 marks the 30th Annual PHC Program. Today, PHC consists of four choirs and over 200 singers. Students are auditioned by an impressive team of auditioners throughout Manitoba. PHC continues to feature the finest choral musicians as guest conductors. Conductors and teachers are asked to ensure the high quality of this program by recommending their best singers.

Students who are current members of a regional youth choir, a divisional honour choir or an auditioned community children’s or youth choir in Manitoba may apply without being auditioned by the PHC audition team. Their conductors are asked to supply audition information to the Manitoba Choral Association (MCA) office. All others may contact the MCA office to arrange an audition.

Recommendation by conductors/teachers does not guarantee a position at PHC. Space is limited; the PHC Audition Team and Conductors will have the final decision on the composition of the choirs.

Travel and accommodation arrangements are the responsibility of the singer.

Adult Choir

For the love of music

This is a non-auditioned choir for adult choristers who love to sing. We are very pleased to have Melanie DeMore direcing the 2012 Adult Choir. Melanie is a founding member of the Grammy nominated, critically-acclaimed vocal ensemble 'Linda Tillery and the Cultural Heritage Choir'. Melanie resides in Oakland, California.
