About Cool Choir

A Singing Revolution in Calgary

Direct from the UK, Cool Choir disrupted the Calgary choir scene in January 2016, creating a sensational, all-inclusive, and non-auditioned adult rock and pop choir experience.

Since then, it’s been a musical revolution, with over 400 Calgarians rocking out every week and discovering their voice. We’re thrilled to be the pioneer of the city’s very first non-auditioned adult rock and pop choir of its kind!

In October 2016, Cool Choir earned a nomination and ended up as a finalist in the ‘People’s Choice’ category at the Calgary Small Business Week Awards. And that’s not all – in May 2017, we proudly snagged the ‘runner up’ title in the ‘Best Music Act’ category as part of the Best of Calgary Awards and in September 2023 we won TWO AWARDS; ‘YYC Community Music Ensemble of the Year’ and ‘People’s Choice’ through the YYC Music Awards!

We’re proud winners of:

  • YYC Community Music Ensemble of the Year (2023)
  • People’s Choice Award (2023)
  • Finalists & award-winners in Calgary’s top music and business awards since 2016
