Founded in 1968 to participate in the opening of Mohawk College ’s Fennell Campus, the choir is now a 75 member semi-professional choral society. The ensemble performs a large variety of music – from fan favourites by ABBA and Queen to chamber music to the greatest large scale works in th

e choral repertoire with orchestral accompaniment and world class soloists. The choir collaborates regularly with orchestras and other symphonic choirs. Chorus Hamilton has been invited to perform with the University of Guelph Symphony, the Brantford Symphony Orchestra, the Redeemer University Sinfonia, the Hamilton Youth Orchestra and Symphony on the Bay. In addition, the choir has collaborated with the McMaster University Choir and Fanshawe Chorus London in several large scale choral events.

Last night was a reminder of why community arts matter.

Thank you to our guest artists, volunteers, musicians, choir members, and the 250 people who chose to spend their evening with us.

Every concert is the result of hundreds of hours of work from people who simply love music and want to share it.

We're grateful you were part of it.

Thank you for sharing! Let's get more people to give classical a go.

Once you try it, you'll never go Bach 😆

Chorus Hamilton is a community choir.

That means our singers include teachers, retirees, students, healthcare workers, parents, shift workers, and people squeezing rehearsal in between the chaos of real life.

Every Tuesday night, people from all across Hamilton show up.
Not because they have to, but because music matters to them that much.

And when concert time comes, we hire incredible professional and semi-professional musicians to join us on stage. People who are deeply passionate about their craft and committed to bringing this music to life for the community.

That's the magic of community music.

Professional musicians. Community singers. One room full of people making something beautiful together.

Not exclusivity. Connection.

There's something pretty special about regular Hamiltonians deciding that singing Mozart together still matters in 2026.

Who was the mystery pianist?!..
We did a thing.

We were inspired by to put on a One Night Choir.

2 weeks later we get an email from Orpheus Men's Choir about choirs around the city joining a mental health initiative to support and well, "Lean on Me" became the obvious choice.

This is 60 strangers learning a song, connecting over music and feeling joy on a Wednesday night. They chose to live life, support a cause and maybe make a friend. Now that's showing up for your community.

We love you Hamilton 🫶

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for joining us. We had a blast and will do it again!

That mystery pianist? Halfway through the song she jumps up and offers to play piano so David can be in the moment conducting us. Could we have learned the song without her? You bet. But would we have been sooo into it and bopping along if he had to play and conduct at once? Maybe.

Thank you TANIA! (Director at - collab in the future🤔)

What if music actually does do something to your brain?

Not “makes you smarter” magic.

Something more human than that.

A slower breath.
A quieter mind.
That feeling when your whole body drops a notch and you didn’t even realize how tense you were before.

That’s the idea behind The Mozart Effect.

Join Chorus Hamilton for a powerful night of Mozart’s most moving music, including:

🎻 Requiem
🎻 Ave verum corpus
🎻 Piano Concerto No. 20

Along the way, we’ll share a few fascinating tidbits about Mozart, music, and what actually happens in the brain and body when we listen to live music together.

No lecture. No need to “understand classical music.” Just show up and experience it.

See that head in the background? That's Brian.

50 years ago, he got stuck in choir class in junior high and hated every second. It wasn't cool. He never wanted to think about singing again.

Last year, someone convinced him to give it one more shot.

Now he's the guy photobombing all our recruitment posts.

Here's what he says now: "The music, the people, the performances — it was a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered."

If you've been on the fence all week, this is it. Tonight's rehearsal. 7:15pm at The Gasworks.

We still need lower voices (tenors, baritones, basses — any gender welcome).

No audition. No pressure. Just come see what it's actually like.
