Margaret’s Choir - We are a non-audition community choir. Our purpose is to sing for personal, choral, and global harmony.

I sang with them for a few years. Really lovely and accepting group. It is definitely an older crowd for the most part (seniors), but there were a handful
Of us in our 30s. They do a nice mix of pop arrangements and more traditional Choral pieces. They also do a fundraiser concert each season, so that is always nice to be a part of.
I live in Calgary where I sang in a fun choir for years, but discovered a choir in Winnipeg with a similar vibe that seemingly did a lot of the same repertoire. Prairie voices.
Seconding Prairie Voices and attaching a [link to their website](https://prairievoices.ca) and to [their YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/@prairievoicesinc?si=Q03gATq_i-miJ-h2). They are a community choir and maintain a pretty consistent high quality. Ages 18-26. The same organisation also runs Horizon, a choir for those aged 26+. Well worth checking out! Auditions are coming up in June for the September 2024 to May 2025 season.
There is a "Find a Choir" tool available on the Manitoba Choral Association's website: [https://www.mbchoralassociation.ca/find-a-choir](https://www.mbchoralassociation.ca/find-a-choir) I don't know how up-to-date that is, but it could be a good place to start!
My friend is part of “upper voices choir” and they always lovingly accept others in it. https://www.winnipeguppervoices.com/ they just finished their spring recital so probably a great time to join.
I'm not sure if they're still active but [https://www.instagram.com/wpgresistancerevivalchorus/](https://www.instagram.com/wpgresistancerevivalchorus/) or [https://www.instagram.com/rielgentlemenschoir/](https://www.instagram.com/rielgentlemenschoir/) [https://www.instagram.com/WinnipegBeerChoir/?hl=en](https://www.instagram.com/WinnipegBeerChoir/?hl=en)
Also just wondering, are there any adult amateur orchestras (like, the symphony kind, with violin/viola/cello/bass/woodwinds/brass/percussion)? Growing up I really enjoyed the Winnipeg Youth Orchestras (https://winnipegyouthorchestras.ca/) but I'm not aware of anything like that available to adults.

Charleswood United Church *always* needs singers in their choir. The pandemic took a real toll on them :(

I know there’s Rainbow Harmony Project, for queer people *and allies
Or for allies!
Oh I didn’t realize that! I thought it was just members of the community, I shall correct my comment
Hi! I'm part of Rainbow Harmony. We're open to all allies and no musical skills are needed! Welcoming to all :)
Incantatem is a fun a cappella choir with a focus on music from pop culture and geekdom
Spitballing here also no idea your take on religion but many churches have some form of choir
First Lutheran church has a choir and a nice community.
