SING! The Toronto Vocal Arts Festival is Canada’s premier a cappella festival (singing without instruments) held every year in May.  We bring together thousands of professional singers (Canadian and international), students, teachers, divas and in-the-shower belters.  We:

• create a safe space for learning
• illustrate that the voice has no limits – knows no constraints of genre, language or cultural background.
• ask participants to step outside their comfort zones and try something new
• educate and inspire todays’ youth
• foster a new and revitalized patronage for the vocal arts

Started in 2011 on a shoestring budget with 7 enthusiasts, we now are the best in Canada.  We lend our expertise to festivals in other cities to expand the enjoyment of a cappella music.

We host an annual downtown Toronto festival in late May plus partner events throughout the year.

Our exclusively a cappella programming falls into six distinct 'containers':

1. SING! In Concert - a premium ticketed series, aimed at the traditional concert-going crowd, presenting national and international vocal groups with Toronto artists
2. SING! In The Clubs - a more intimate and immediate experience, including the "Afterglow" gatherings of artists and audience post-concert
3. SING! Free - offers multicultural and multi-stylistic acts, representing Canada’s unique cultural diversity, all free to the public outside at Ontario Place Trillium Park.
4. 4. SING! And Learn - for the general public, seminars and masterclasses offer opportunities to work face-to-face with some of the greatest vocal ensembles in the world, and allow visiting established artists the opportunity to network with Toronto performers and groups.
5. SING! Plus - multi-disciplinary events and unique, eclectic programming incorporating visual art, dance, film, and other media
6. SING! The Future: focusing on the development of new talent, educational outreach to schools, targeting underserved communities, plus the annual Collegiate Showcase for university groups
