• Our free Boys Choir and Girls Choir advance the musical and social growth of choristers through a disciplined approach to music studies. The result of this training for the children is access to some of the greatest music humankind has produced over the last 1,000 years, including new repertoire that responds to and expands that heritage. • Our free Young Men’s Program gives teenage boys with changing voices a pre-professional music training with an emphasis on leadership skills that help them navigate the challenging journey to adulthood. Many of our Young Men go on to become paid singers in our Men's Choir. • Capella Regalis supports the artistic practice of professional musicians living and working in Nova Scotia and across Canada. Our Men’s Choir employs a roster of professional adult singers to provide the alto, tenor, and bass voices for Capella Regalis performances, forming the backbone of our annual season of professional presentations, together with instrumentalists and other collaborating artists. The two goals of musical excellence AND accessibility for everyone inform all Capella Regalis programming decisions. Capella Regalis regularly offers free or pay-what-you-can live and online performances for the public, and shares a diverse range of musical repertoire with schoolchildren through free, interactive performances in local elementary schools. Capella Regalis is currently developing a Community Music Literacy Course to teach the basics of music reading through a free online course where anyone may learn at their own pace. For more information about these and other projects, we invite you to visit capellaregalis.com.
