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.
For more information please call Frieda Foidl 403 246-0259.
Choir Report
Dear Friends and Members:
Yes, fall is here with great fall colours—a special
season to bring joy and anticipation. November
and December will bring snow and celebrations.
We the choir Heimatecho have the wonderful job
to bring music to all the functions over the year.
On the 23rd of October we sang at the Austrian
National Holiday Event.
Jeannie Park, our choir Director, keeps us busy
with new traditional Christmas songs to
showcase them. We will continue to be the
musical ambassadors, contributing to the
Austrian Culture with enjoyment and dedication.
On Friday December 10th, Choir Heimatecho will
have its Christmas dinner at the club. At this
time we will celebrate 40 years of dedication and
commitment to these three special people:
Claudia Bosch, Josie Janschitz and Heinz Franke.
A big thank you from our choir members to
them.
Our choir Heimatecho wishes everyone for the
holiday season a Merry Christmas and a happy
healthy New Year 2022. Music brings people
together and makes us happy.
