“Choral music is not one of life’s frills. It’s something that goes to the very heart of our humanity, our sense of community, and our souls. When you sing, you express your soul in song. And, when you get together with a group of other singers, it becomes more than the sum of the parts. All of those people are pouring out their hearts and souls in perfect harmony. It’s like a great oak that rises up from the centre of the human race and spreads its branches everywhere.”

Raising Voices – We Want to Raise Your Voice!
Join Us and Raise Ours!
The Phil is committed to providing the highest possible standard of choral singing for people of all ages. In particular, we want to provide the opportunity for choristers – especially younger ones – to sing major choral works with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
Are you a Grade 11, 12, or post-secondary student chorister who wants to sing major choral works with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra?
Here’s your chance!
The Winnipeg Philharmonic Choir is offering a limited number of $500 bursaries for grades 11 or 12 students and post-secondary students who would like to sing with the Phil for the winter/spring concerts of the 2024-2025 choral season. To qualify, you will commit to rehearsing and performing with the Phil for both the February 23, 2025, and the April 13, 2025 concerts.
The bursary will be awarded in two installments, during the rehearsal/concert schedule.
