Sirens’ cabaret evening is back by popular demand! “Songs of Sirens” will take place on Saturday, October 14^th at 7:30 pm at Dr. Steel Recital Hall in Charlottetown.

This event will be a departure from the usual Sirens concert. In keeping with the cabaret feel, there will be folk, pop, jazz, and musical theatre selections sung by soloists, duos, and small groups. Singers will be joined by pianist Stephanie Cole, other special musical guests, and the ensemble will also perform some surprise tunes for the audience. To round out the evening, there will be announcement of our 2023-24 concert season, a 50/50 draw, and refreshments with singers.

Proceeds from the event will go toward supporting the continued growth of Sirens Choral Association (SCA). Since the release of its debut album Boundless, Sirens has become in-demand as a performing ensemble with invitations to perform across Canada. SCA also supports the future generation of singers through Harmonia Youth Choirs and provides singing opportunities for adults with Spire Choir, produced in partnership with the Under the Spire Festival. Funds raised will assist with operational costs to keep our choirs singing!

Join singers for a night of music that will surely leave you entertained! This event often sells out, so be sure reserve your spot early. Tickets for this event are $30 and are available at the link below or at the door.
