The Austrian mixed Choir “Heimatecho” has been singing together since 1980 when a group of members of the Austrian-Canadian Society got together to rehearse some traditional songs for the Christmas party at the newly opened Austrian-Canadian Cultural Centre. Over the years 30 singers joined the choir, which performs at various club functions and also sings at senior homes and hospitals. New singers are always welcome to join the choir. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m.

Choir Report
Dear Friends and Members:
Spring is around the corner, and we sure are
looking forward to seeing the snow disappear.
Spring is a time to embrace life. Easter comes this
year at the beginning of April.
Choir Heimatecho has their first performance on
Thursday, April 6th at Trinity Lodge. We give the
seniors a special enjoyable evening. We are grateful
to share the beautiful folklore and traditional
Austrian music. We are busy with new songs, with
emphasis on music for the Heimatabend in
September. Jeannie Park is our choir director and
she keeps us happy and never tires of practicing
with us. The universal language of music brings us
all together to practice every Thursday at 7 p.m. at
the Austrian Club.
We are looking for new singers. Come and share
your love of music with us. We are proud cultural
and musical Ambassadors for the Austrian Club.
Our choir still has 21 dedicated members. We
perform regularly at various cultural events,
churches, weddings, birthdays and anniversaries,
just to name a few.
A special performance is coming up for the Maifest
on Saturday, April 29th at the Austrian Club and our
choir Heimatecho will perform. Everyone is
welcome to have fun and enjoy the evening with
delicious food and dancing to the band Premium
Akkord. Hope to see you there.
Happy Easter wishes with warm weather to all our
members and friends. Stay healthy and have fun.
