The Pembroke Community Choir is a non-auditioned group of about 80 people of all ages and musical ability.  We combine vocal work and fun to achieve the best possible musical entertainment for the community.  Our performances are accompanied by professional musicians, and frequently make use of both professional and Choir member soloists.  If you love to sing, you’re welcome to join us!

You can come to a rehearsal or two without any obligation, to see if it works for you.  We rehearse on Monday nights from September to April, and perform 2 concerts each year.

2009 was our Jubilee year!  Our Homecoming Banquet on May 23 2009 was a huge success, with 150 in attendance.  Our Christmas concert to a packed church hall featured highlights of the last 50 years, including compositions by our second director, Dr. James Gayfer.

To cap off our celebrations, we were invited to sing at the arrival of the Olympic Torch in Pembroke on December 13.  A crowd of 5000 stood in the snow at the Marina while Brian Dinwoodie touched the flame to the cauldron and we sang the Olympic anthem “There’s a Light / Cette flamme” by Gregory Charles.

In January 2010, we welcomed conductor Juanita Kennedy who is well known for her work with the Cantando Singers in Deep River.  A Spring concert of music by Canadian composers was held May 2 at Our Lady of Lourdes Church.

The fall concert on December 5 2010 will be a traditional mix of Christmas music.
