About Shoreline Chorus
Shoreline Chorus is celebrating its 24th season. Shoreline is a 50-member Owen Sound-based community choir under the direction of Ann-Marie MacDairmid. Choir members live throughout Grey County including Thornbury, Meaford, Eugenia, Walter’s Falls, Durham, Chatsworth, Hanover and Owen Sound.
Shoreline presents concerts throughout the year ... fall, Christmas, spring and summer programs. Fall programs ... Broadway, movie, Brit pop, jazz, motown, doo-wop and big band music. Spring programs ... African, gospel, spiritual, folk and Canadian music. Summer choir programs are more ‘classical’ in style - madrigals, art songs, opera and requiems. Christmas programs include both sacred and secular music. Choir concerts are performed in different communities; some in partnership with local groups (Knox Bells of Praise in Meaford).
Shoreline has also offered choristers the opportunity to travel and perform abroad. In April 2012, Shoreline (and friends) went to Havana, Cuba; in April 2014, Friesland and Amsterdam, the Netherlands; in April 2016, Dublin and Belfast, Ireland and in April 2018, Prague, Czech Republic; Leipzig and Berlin, Germany.
The chorus have provided music at special events; singing the American and Canadian national anthems at Owen Sound Attack hockey games and provided music at the opening of the new schoolhouse at Grey Roots Museum. Shoreline often performs for fundraisers; the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (Bighead River Foodgrains Project in Meaford).
