The Mississauga Summer Chorale has been invited to compete in the champions competition of the 2022 world choir games in Gangneung, Korea! The MSC will bring it’s chamber choir to sing in front of an international audience and compete for the title of the world’s best amateur choir. We are so excited to travel across the world to share our wonderful sound with other choral groups and audiences, and to share our unique approach to choral leadership and collaboration with the world choral community. Because of this trip, their season will begin much earlier than usual, with rehearsals starting in February instead of May.

In Korea, the Mississauga Summer Chorale will premiere a newly commissioned piece by composer Nicholas Wanstall. Nicholas has been a friend of the MSC for many seasons, and we are so excited to be bringing his music across the world to share with choral music fans everywhere.

The World Choir Games is an annual event hosted by the world choir council “Interkultur”. Choirs from all over the globe participate in concerts, workshops, competitions, and celebrations of choral music. This year, the games run from July 4th to 14th, and will take place in many fantastic venues across the City of Gangneung.

The MSC has been in operation for 7 years, and is a registered charity. The choirs consist of over 100 members, and the artistic team is comprised of 8 amazingly talented young artists from around the GTA. The MSC is proud of its commitment to diversity, musical excellence, accessibility, equity, growth, and learning. We are thrilled to have our first opportunity to share our music internationally, and look forward to representing Canada in this competition.
