Red Willow Community Church, 15 Corriveau Avenue, St. Albert
Our afternoon seniors drop-in choir Forte Plus has been busy with several performances, and are working hard to get ready for the “Music, Murder, and Mayhem” show at the end of April.
Last year this group managed to raise over $600 for the local community food bank, and this Christmas raised $535!
Cleopatra is a choir for experienced women singers to raise their voices together in a variety of choral genres starting with some swing music in the fall.
Rehearsals are on Tuesdays, starting at 6:30 PM at St. Albert Catholic High School, access via 20 Malmo Place and continue west.
After our incredibly exciting Speakeasy event in February, Cleo is now working on music for the “Time” concert with So Noted in May.
Our women’s choir has chosen to support the Jessica Martel Foundation this year.

Forte Plus
St. Albert choirs
Artistic Director of Acting Out since its inception in 2008, Criselda is thrilled to add two choirs to the AOMT family.
Join us on Monday nights with So Noted! All voice parts are welcome to apply, although priority is given to experienced men’s voices for blend. Two trial rehearsals allow you to come and try us on for size. This choir will feature focused rehearsals, performances, rehearsal recordings, possible tours, unique opportunities from solos to small groups and widely-varied choral material.
FORTE PLUS:
Join us on Wednesday afternoons for casual choral singing offering a variety of genres and styles as a no-commitment drop-in opportunity. These one-hour afternoon sessions will also explore local performance options. Come and join Forte Plus for an hour of singing some new, some old and some completely unexpected songs and workshop experiences. Discover more about your own voice and how it blends with others, all while exploring various genres and styles. No experience necessary.
CLEOPATRA:
Our new women’s ensemble started with a ‘swing-y’ appearance at So Noted’s Christmas show, and put on a wildly-successful “Speakeasy” show in February. See them again at So Noted’s spring show in May!

Past Events
Why did I join choir almost 14 years ago? Simply put, I wanted to heal.
I loved singing in my mom’s choirs as a child, but I fell away from it during my teenage and young adult years. Finding music again with Criselda has made such a difference in my life physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually. I love the music, the harmonies, the community and especially performing! Being part of something that brings musical joy into the world is truly a gift – one that everyone should experience!
One memory that stands out for me. My very first performance at the Arden and being so excited to see my mom afterwards. I wanted her to be proud of me. And she was thrilled.
