Mount Royal Sings!
A Choir for Every Voice
The Mount Royal Choral Association of Calgary (MRCA) seeks to build the future through the power of music.
The Mount Royal Choral Association of Calgary supports a family of choirs with choral artists ranging from kindergarten through to university. Each choral ensemble plays a key role in developing and advancing the choral arts experience for the singers and the audiences who attend performances.
MRCA seeks to educate and develop the musicianship of our singers while also exposing them to the creative and imaginative possibilities that performing arts can provide. Each ensemble undertakes suitably challenging and quality repertoire, meaningful collaborations, and impactful performances.
