The Calgary Italian Choir held its first performance on May 22, In 2000 the choir was incorporated as the Calgary Crescendo Choral Society. It is an adult non-auditioned and self-funded choir open to men and women, Italian and non-Italian alike. Knowledge of Italian is not essential, but your love to sing is. The choir practices every Tuesday evening 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Calgary Italian Cultural Centre (416 1st Avenue N.E.). Our season runs from September through June (excluding Christmas holidays).
The choir performs folk, popular, a bit of classical, and Christmas songs, both in Italian and English. We have performed at many seniors’ lodges, at Heritage Park, Spruce Meadows, Calgary Sings, and can boast of being an international choir because in August 2007 the choir toured Italy, singing at different venues, entertaining young and old alike. The choir also sang at the annual Italian Festival in San Diego in This year the Choir celebrated its 20th Anniversary with a gala/concert at the Calgary Italian Cultural Center.
The choir welcomes invitations to perform at community and cultural functions; if you are interested in having us perform or would like more details on becoming a member, please contact Cecilia Cupido at or Lina Monte at
