Amabile Boys & Men's Choirs
Amabile Boys & Men's Choirs
The Amabile Boys & Men's Choirs, directed by Dr Carol Beynon and Ken Fleet, were founded in 1990 to provide musical experiences of the highest level for male singers in Southwestern Ontario. The organization focuses on character development through singing and artistic excellence.
More than 100 young men are involved in the five choirs within this organization: The Treble Training Choir (TTC), the Treble Concert Choir TCC), the Amabile Young Men's Choir (YM), Primus Men's Choir and the Amabile Young Men's Ensemble (AYME). Trebles whose voices change have immediate access to the tenor-bass youth choir and opportunities to continue their vocal and musical education. The choirs are committed to leadership development among young men in our society, performing traditional masterpieces of the male choral literature as well as encouraging the development of Canadian repertoire for male voices. The choirs have released three CD's with two new releases in this season.
Amabile Young Men
The Young Men (YM) is made up of boys with changing voices who range in age from 12 to 19 years of age. This choir focuses on healthy vocal development and provides an introduction to challenging male voice repertoire. They perform regularly in the Amabile concert series and often combine with the Primus Ensemble for performances - becoming the Amabile Young Men's Ensemble.
