Austrian Choir Heimatecho

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 Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m.

Choir Report

Dear Friends and Members:

Our Choir members are taking a summer break. Hope everyone is having a great and enjoyable time off, taking some special hiking trips in our beautiful mountains or having just some nice picnics with friends and having some fun. The choir will be starting back on September 8th to practice Austrian Classical and traditional Music for our Heimatabend on September 26th, 2026. That night we celebrate the wonderful treasure of Austrian culture. Jeannie Park is our Choir Director and has kept us busy to practice for the last 46 years! Music brings people together with enjoyment and dedication.

For our Heimatabend we will have the fabulous German Canadian Male Chorus. It is always an outstanding musical performance and a pleasure to hear all the wonderful voices. Susan Woodward is their Musical Director. Also for this evening, the dance group Schuhplatler Enzian will be performing their special dances, which is always enjoyed by our audience. Excellent entertainment, a delicious buffet dinner, and live music and dancing courtesy of Jana and Danny!

We the Choir Heimatecho are inviting everyone to come and celebrate our Heimatabend on September 26th, 2026. We are grateful to share and enjoy this special event. Please support us and bring your friends and family. Hope to see you all there and have a great evening.
