Exsultate - Our Newest Ensemble!

With the addition of this new chamber ensemble in 2019, Shallaway has furthered its ability to offer artistic opportunities to experienced choral singers looking to share their talent and perform semi-professionally on a global stage. It is a dream come true to support the professional growth of choral singing in the province, by taking the steps to support an older ensemble of singers who will become a professional choral organization under the Shallaway umbrella.

As Shallaway grows and evolves to strengthen its capacity, we welcome auditions and encourage current members and university age students to explore this new opportunity.
