Near North Voices – North Bay’s University-Community Choir, has a busy few weeks ahead of them. With choristers returning this week from a performance at Carnegie Hall in New York City, the choir will sing live on CBC’s Morning North on Friday, March 23 as they broadcast from the North Bay YMCA as part of the CBC’s 40th anniversary.

This member-led, primarily a cappella vocal ensemble features nine singers from the greater Hamilton area. Their repertoire includes pop, jazz, and contemporary music along with choral art music. Near North Voices and Kanto will each sing a portion of the concert, and will unite for a choral grand finale. 

This concert is the sixth in the Sharing Our Choral Art concert series of collaborative concerts with invited guest ensembles, designed to “bring a world of choral music” to North Bay. Since 2011, this series has welcomed choirs from across Ontario, the USA, and the Czech Republic.
