Welcome

Saskatoon Men’s Chorus (SMC) anticipates another exciting season of in-person concerts after its celebratory return to live performing in 2021. We launch our 42^nd season on October 15^th with a very special event: the SMC Scholarship Showcase, featuring four award-winning young baritones from Saskatoon. SMC encourages the development of young singers by providing two annual scholarships to the winners of the Saskatoon Music Festival’s tenor, baritone and bass classes and (until the pandemic) had a tradition of inviting them to be guest soloists at our Spring concert. We’ll make up for lost time by shining the spotlight on four recent winners in one evening: Kai Batycki, Adam Brookman, Erik Jeerakathil and Zackary St. Louis. Each will perform individually and join in a finale with the Chorus. A portion of proceeds will go towards future SMC scholarships for emerging tenors, baritones and basses.

On December 4^th we offer a pause from the busy pace of the Christmas season with a concert titled A Carol for Peace. Flutist Ann Salmon will join us in carols familiar and new, as well as music that expresses a desire for peace—both in our world and within ourselves. As in past years SMC will be collecting donations of food for Saskatoon Food Bank at the door.

Mark your calendars—and set your clocks—for Spring Forward, a unique concert all about Time which takes place on April 16^th at 2:30 p.m.—sharp! Popular Saskatoon actor Kent Allen joins the SMC in a fun afternoon of songs and readings inspired by the concept and experience of time. Percussionist Darrell Bueckert will keep time along with us as we waltz through many musical time signatures, from the common to the unusual, while performing some remarkable time-defying rhythmic feats of his own.
