NORTH BAY – Near North Voices singing live on CBC, then welcoming Hamilton’s KANTO Vocal Ensemble

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. 

Near North Voices is also preparing to welcome Hamilton’s hottest new vocal ensemble, Kanto, for a collaborative concert Sharing Our Choral Art VI on April 7. 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. 

Sharing Our Choral Art VI will take place on Saturday April 7, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s United Church, 399 Cassells St., North Bay. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for post-secondary students, and are available at Gulliver’s on Main St. and at the door. For further information, go to our website www.nearnorthvoices.com.
