OUR PARTNERS & USERS
PARTNERSHIPS
The Grand Philharmonic Choir traces its roots back to the 19th century, when Kitchener was named Berlin. A defining feature of local life was the singing festival (sängerfest) that attracted thousands of people; this has formed a lasting foundation of appreciation for choral music.
The choir has operated continuously since 1922. We are now four choirs in one organization: a large symphonic adult chorus, a smaller chamber choir drawn from the ranks of that chorus, a youth choir comprised of singers aged 14 to 23, and a children’s choir for young singers from age 7 to 14.
The 519 community collective is a grassroots mission that was created on March 30th 2020 during the covid 19 pandemic by our founder Julie Sawatzky with very humble beginnings.
We are one of many groups working together to fill gaps within the Waterloo region. We advocate for many seniors, single parents and families who are living in shelters or transitional living by providing emergency aid and essentials to create a better and more stable tomorrow.
Noteworthy Music Studio is an award-winning music school in Kitchener with over 1000 happy students. They offer piano, vocal, guitar, and ukulele lessons for all ages. From private lessons to group classes and RCM Smart Programs for babies, they cater to every musical journey.
HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre is a non-profit organization committed to providing support and resources to all individuals affected by cancer. We are here for every cancer, every stage for everyone.
With cancer predicted to affect 1 in 2 people by 2023, the need for organizations like HopeSpring is more significant than ever before. Support is offered over and above that of which is available in the hospital environment; our medical partners rely on us to provide this much-needed support for their patients.
