Founded in 1977 by Director Emeritus Richard Householder, the Windsor Classic Chorale has become a cornerstone of the local arts community, presenting an annual concert season and performing at a variety of events throughout the Windsor area. The WCC considers it a privilege to share music with the community and values collaborations with organizations such as the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, the Canadian Chamber Choir, the Windsor-Essex Youth Choir, the Walkerville Centre for the Creative Arts, and various solo artists. Over the years, the WCC has performed in a wide range of venues, including Heritage Auditorium at the University of Windsor, All Saints’ Church, and the Stone & Sky Music & Art Series on Pelee Island.
Each year, the WCC hosts the Windsor Choral Festival, offering choral singers of all ages opportunities for musical growth and development. Guest clinicians bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the community, providing local singers with fresh insights into musical interpretation, vocal technique, and overall performance.
We are eager to connect with our community in new and meaningful ways. In recent years, we have performed at events such as the Bright Lights Festival, the Windsor Yacht Club, the Mayor’s Walk, the City of Windsor’s Culture Days, Cemetery Sunday, and the installation of the University of Windsor’s Chancellor. We also love caroling during the Christmas season—if you would like a group to visit your home or business, please contact us. If you have ideas for how we can connect with you or your organization, we would be delighted to hear from you.
