Eric, (a colleague and friend of mine), and I sang in a teacher/student choir for over a year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had never sung in a choir before but loved to sing. The school choir unfortunately was discontinued early in 1977. Later that year, Eric called and said there was a new choir being formed in Hamilton under a well-known choirmaster from Wales — Lyn Harry. Would I like to try it? I did, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the singing, the concerts, the tours, the fellowship and the friends I’ve made in the Canadian Orpheus Male Choir.

I first heard of the COMC in 2012… It was winter, February… A few friends were having a get-together including George and his wife. Knowing I write and compose songs, I was requested to sing one of my originals, so I did. Immediately afterwards, George said he was not taking no for answer and he’d be picking me up to go to one of the COMC practices on the coming Monday evening… So here I am. One of the best things about the choir is the caring people. It’s like having another family… belonging.

Over the years, there have been some changes in the membership of the COMC, the conductors and the accompanists, of course, but what has not changed is our friendship, enthusiasm and love of singing. New members have come along and we love to see them having fun learning the music and experiencing the thrill of observing the audiences enjoying COMC concerts. I look forward to the learning and presentation of the music we perform and, of course, our upcoming concert tour. I hope that many other men who love to sing will come forward and enjoy the choir as much as I do.

The Norfolk Note-Ables thoroughly enjoyed sharing the stage with the men.
It was very inspiring!
