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.

Fall is here with all its awesome colours. It is October and the Choir Members are all well and with good spirit. We had a short get together at the club having lunch and a delicious treat afterwards. This was an opportunity to see all and feel great joy. We’re all wishing to be able to practice our traditional Austrian music.

Jeannie Park will play the music for the Canadian and Austrian anthems, supported by the beautiful Tenor voices of Philip Park and Reinhard Skoracki.
