The Calgary Italian Choir held its first performance on May 22, 1997. 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 Club (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 Italian and English. We have sang at many senior lodges, at Heritage Park, Spruce Meadows, last year with Calgary Sings and can now 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 welcomes invitations to perform at community and cultural functions and if you are interested in having us perform please contact Renata Jarabek, director responsible for Event Planning.
In December 2007 our choir director, Teresa resigned and Wanda Sanguin one of our talented sopranos directed the choir. We are delighted to announce our new director Duarte Silva and with the full complement of the band (pianist Gaila Worden, accordionist Danilo Terra and guitarist Jim Jarabek) we are now looking forward to a very exciting season.
