What do butterflies, kites, fish, and clovers have in common?

Join Ilumini as they animate tradition and discovery in music.

We will sing of butterflies, kites, fish, and clovers - small things, perhaps. But through them, we carry grief, awe, rage, joy, and the stubborn instinct to keep reaching toward the light.

On June 13, Ilumini presents How To Build a Tree, journeying across Turtle Island, Europe, and Asia in story, voice, and imagination.

Let your voice bloom this spring with Printempo.

Printempo is a short-term program from the Hamilton Children’s Choir designed to carry singers in Grades 2–6 through to June. Offering a meaningful, musical way to finish the school year strong.

This program is all about playful music-making and connection. Singers will explore new songs and build confidence in a welcoming, low-pressure environment—no audition, vocal assessment, or music literacy required.

Whether your child is brand new to singing or already part of the HCC community, Printempo is open to everyone.
