WHO WE ARE

The Friends of the Kingston Choral Society is a not-for-profit corporation that promotes Kingston, Ontario’s oldest secular choir. The Kingston Choral Society was formed 70 years ago, and occupies a special place in the Kingston music scene.

A proud member of the Kingston Symphony Association, the KCS is lucky to perform with the spectacular musicians associated with that organization. This December, the choir will once again join forces with the KSO for three performances of the much-loved Candlelight Christmas at The Isabel Bader Centre – get your tickets early! KCS also seeks out regional artists with which to collaborate, and routinely provides performing opportunities for developing artists from across the province.

Spectacles to come

In 2025/26, the KCS brings music lovers more masterworks by the world’s greatest composers, which have become the choirs’ hallmark, as well as newer works inspired by those classics. The season opens with an astonishing 4-hand piano arrangement of one of the world’s most remarkable masterworks - the Mozart Requiem. Enjoy its drama, beauty & splendour in a totally new way. Featuring Clare Marion and Emily McPherson. Audiences will be charmed by a KCS Christmas party concert on December 6th featuring a dramatisation of Dicken’s Christmas Carol with Christmas music. KCS will feature in the Kingston Symphony’s annual Candlelight Christmas Concerts on December 15, 16 and 17. The season closes on May 3rd with Into the Dreaming, featuring Dreamweaver by Ola Gjeilo, The Dreams that Remain by Thomas La Voy, and music by Morten Laurisden and Eric Whitacre.
