How can I join the SFU Choir for the Fall 2026 semester?

Updated

The SFU Choir is accepting new members for its Fall 2026 semester starting September 17th, 2026. The semester's theme is Songs of Protest. If you want to sing with the choir, plan to act around that date and go through the Join section of the website for the actual sign-up details.

What the Fall 2026 semester looks like

  • Theme: Songs of Protest
  • New member intake opens: September 17th, 2026
  • Ensembles named on the site: SFU Choir and SFU Chamber Choir
  • Voice parts listed: Sopranos, Altos, Tenors, Basses, and Weirdos

The inclusion of "Weirdos" alongside the standard SATB parts signals that the choir presents itself as open and informal about where singers fit, rather than strictly gatekeeping by traditional voice classification.

How to join

  1. Go to the Join page on sfuchoir.ca (linked from the main navigation).
  2. Read the current joining instructions there — the homepage only announces the intake date and theme, not the full process.
  3. Return on or after September 17th, 2026 to sign up, since that is when new members are accepted for the fall term.

The site's main navigation also includes About, Caroling, Look and Listen, Donate, and Contact, so you can learn more about the group's activities before committing.

Things to check before you commit

  • Rehearsal schedule, location, and any fees are not stated on the homepage — confirm these on the Join page or by using the Contact option.
  • Audition requirements are not mentioned in the available site content, so don't assume either way; verify directly.
  • Donations are handled through a Square checkout link, which tells you nothing about membership cost — treat pricing as unknown until the choir confirms it.
