Now in its twelfth season, Harmonia is the Sirens Choral Association’s principal educational program for youth ages 10–20. We are now accepting singers for the 2026-2027 school year!
Harmonia is a welcoming community where young singers have fun, build friendships, and grow their musical skills. Through inclusive and creative instruction, singers gain a strong foundation in vocal technique in a supportive environment.
Led by Artistic Director Kelsea McLean and Assistant Director/Pianist Andrea Ellis, Harmonia includes two choirs: Harmonia Junior (ages 10–14 or unchanged voices) and Harmonia Senior (ages 14–20 for treble and changed voices). The Athena Mentorship Programming also allows senior treble singers to rehearse and perform with Sirens.
Harmonia has earned recognition in local festivals and has collaborated with Sirens, PEI Symphony Orchestra, and others. Highlights include performances at Province House, Music Monday, and PEI Junior Honour Choir, as well as a national feature in Music is our Medicine.
