Calling Singers to Join the Phoenix Chorus!

A weekly singing group for ages 18 to 25, building toward two public performances: Night of Dread in October and Ghost Walk/Earth Dance in February. This choir is made possible with funding from Kiwanis Toronto.

The Phoenix Chorus is a weekly opportunity to sing together and explore music rooted in folk polyphony, soundscape creation, & songs drawn from your own cultural background, with an emphasis on folk music reconnecting us to land, ritual, & community.

We meet for 17 weekly sessions, September 2026 through February 2027. In October, you’ll sing at Night of Dread for thousands of people from the neighbourhood. In February, you’ll perform in the indoor Ghost Walk/Earth Dance, a night of storytelling, music, and soundscape where puppets of extinct and threatened animals share the room with your voices.

Your leaders are Andrea Kuzmich, one of Canada’s foremost practitioners of Georgian and Ukrainian polyphonic singing, and Luca Makharashvili, a 22-year-old multi-instrumentalist with Ori Shalva, Canada’s foremost Georgian family singing ensemble. Their ensembles have collaborated with C&P for over 20 years.
