The Fort William Male Choir is the oldest Performing Arts Group in Northwestern Ontario, singing four part harmony with piano accompaniment. The choir has four main performances each year – Two “Prelude to Christmas” concerts early in December at the TB Community Auditorium, and two "Spaghetti Sing-a-long" concerts at The Da Vinci Centre, held the last weekend in April.
The FWMC was chosen to be Canada's Centenary Choir for Expo 67 in Montreal and has performed in the USA and overseas. Locally, we sing for Senior Citizens, at the annual Rotarian Carol Services held at Christmas, and travel to various communities in Northwestern Ontario to perform full Christmas Concert.
We have sung the National Anthems at Blue Jays-Minnesota Twins baseball games in Minneapolis, at the Thunder Bay Chill 2009 opening home soccer game, at the Thunder Bay Border Cats baseball game, and at the Scotties Ladies National Curling Championship.
We are led by our long time duo of Kendal House, Director and Diane Crocker, Accompanist. The Choir holds practice every Tuesday night, excepting the summer months, and is always interested in new members who share our love of Music. Our website is fwmc.ca and contains additional choir information and photos from some of our performances.
