Canta Mara Youth Choirs of the Annapolis Valley

about

Canta Mara Youth Choirs of the Annapolis Valley (formerly the Annapolis Valley Honour Choir) is recognized nationally for its excellence in music education and capacity for community building. A vibrant part of the Annapolis Valley’s cultural fabric for over 35 years, there are approximately 200 choristers ranging from Grades 2-12 in four choirs, representing communities from the Kempt Shore to Granville Ferry.
Artistic Director Heather Fraser curates a music education program for each of our choirs that not only lays the foundations of music making, but stretches their minds and fills their hearts. Our program is complete and comprehensive, focusing on nurturing healthy vocal development, strong musicianship skills and engaged community leaders. Canta Mara offers the opportunity for choristers to work with professionally trained faculty in weekly rehearsals and workshop settings. This includes a full music literacy program, a chorister apprenticeship and leadership program, multiple performances, community engagement activities, and cultural exchange travel opportunities.
The choir provides a powerful means for young musicians to build confidence - to strengthen their unique voice and express their true selves in a safe, supportive space. Choir members feel a collective sense of teamwork and responsibility, learn the value in being committed to something larger than themselves, and share in a common vision that brings beauty to the world.
