Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo Adult Choir – Call for Singers.

Patricia Tupper, the Choral Director of the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo is extending an invitation to interested SATB singers to join 2024 Adult Choir.

The theme for this year’s show is Horizons and will celebrate 100 years of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

You can contact Patricia via email at choir@nstattoo.ca to express your interest. Please indicate “Adult Choir” in the subject line.

The ability to read music is an asset and we are sure that you will find that your investment in time is well rewarded. Songs must be memorized before the shows commence as no sheet music is permitted for performances.

This is a major commitment, and it is a great opportunity to experience the excitement of mounting a large production while singing, engaging with international Tattoo participants, and making new friends.

Choir members need to have good mobility and be able to maneuver in the dark, quickly, for stage loading and unloading. One must also be capable of standing still for extended periods of time.

 Here is an overview of the draft rehearsal and show schedule:

Rehearsals details are still in the works and are expected to begin May 26.  Initial rehearsals are held Sunday evenings 18:00-21:00. Rehearsal site TBA.  Details to follow.

These rehearsals continue every Sunday evening through June 16.

Rehearsals in the Scotia Bank Centre will likely begin on the evening of Monday, June 17th and will be scheduled most evenings and weekend days until the Show starts dress rehearsals on June 26th.

The Show opens on the evening of June 28th. 

Show 1- June 28 evening

Show 2 – June 29 matinee

Show 3 – June 30 matinee 

Show 4 – June 30 evening 

Show 5- July 1 matinee 

We are hoping that this information will be helpful. More details will be coming as they are known. 

Please let us know if you have any questions; reach out via email inquiry. choir@nstattoo.ca

The sound of men’s voices raised in harmony – beautiful and stirring! If you’re a man that enjoys singing, the Coastal Voices Men’s Choir may be just right for you.

We are a community choir which meets 7 pm, Thursday nights at the New Horizons Senior’s club in Musquodoboit Harbour. We begin rehearsing in January and prepare a concert program which is offered each spring in several communities along the Eastern shore.

Lots of fun, friendship and musical support are provided in this friendly group. Practice tracks are made available for all the songs so inexperienced singers can feel comfortable taking part and it never hurts to have an experienced singer  helping you along!
