From summer 2018 to now, find out what has been happening and what's coming up for this exciting a cappella group!
🌟🎭 Rediscover Why You Love Music in the First Place in Lost & Found: A Mix Musical of Musicals 🎶✨ 🔥 Why You Can’t Miss This 🔥 Mixology A Cappella presents their first ever aca-musical, Lost & Found: A Mix Musical of Musicals! This is not just a show; is’s a reminder why you fell in love with music (and musicals) in the first place. It’s a journey through the love, laughter, monsters, and mean girls of the world’s most beloved musicals. 🌹 Special Appearances 🌹 We are so excited to feature MAVIS Productions cast members of Beauty and The Beast — Belle (Shayla Laurine), Beast (Hayden Tallon), and Gaston (Chase Montgomery) — in Lost & Found, as well as a cappella quartets, Romancing the Tone and Sharp Attack. 🎶 The Playlist of Dreams 🎶 Experience songs and elements from Hamilton, RENT, Beauty and The Beast, West Side Story, Moulin Rouge, Wizard of Oz, Dear Evan Hansen, Funny Girl, Les Miserables, Wicked, Smash, My Fair Lady, and more as we weave through the classics and back again. 🌈 Why Now? 🌈 In a world craving connection and joy, Lost & Found: The Musical of Musicals offers a sanctuary. It’s more […]
Mixology were the chorus singers for Beauty & The Beast with MAVIS Productions. In fact, it was our last performance of 2023 and ended up being one of the highlights of the year. Hanging out with the MAVIS cast and crew, singing in the green room, cheering for each performer during their big moments, singing our hearts out during the big moments… Just wow. It was so good, it tasted like more… And by more, we mean there are two more musicals coming up this spring that MIX will be helping with, one of which is RENT! Because doing any musical takes additional learning (outside our regular repertoire and performance calendar) plus runs of 2-5 days of performances, not every Mix singer can swing it. So those who can, are getting together at the end of regular rehearsal to make it happen. Enter MIXtracurriculars (or MIXtras, for short!) Strictly for the fully musical-obsessed with a clear calendar and, as always, killer vocals, our MIXtras will be doing a select number of upcoming shows in partnership with MAVIS. If being a MIXtra or coming out to a musical interests you, keep an eye on this website, on MAVIS Productions, or email […]
Mixology A Cappella will be singing in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast – The Broadway Musical, put on by Mavis Productions at The Conrad Centre for Performing Arts in December. This is part of a Beauty and the Beast tour that includes four cities. Here’s more: Mavis Productions is proud to bring our largest tour to date to our communities! What better story to tell than a “Tale as old as time”! Step into the enchanted world of Broadway’s classic, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, an international sensation that has been produced in 37 countries worldwide. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his […]

AUGUST 22-31, 2023, SEP 4-13 | Mix is hosting auditions for the 2023/2024 season of concerts, festivals, friendships, a cappella harmony singing, and the occasional wedding flash mob 😉 New singers to Mix will join our incredible group of inspiring humans with amazing voices – music lovers, music teachers, University music majors, directors, musical theatre actors, and singers from award-winning choruses and quartets.

Our current repertoire (which is always changing) includes jazz, rock, and pop, with songs from Billy Joel, Bill Withers, David Bowie, Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder, Seal, and musicals such as RENT, Moulin Rouge, Greatest Showman, and You Will Be Found. Mix singers are invited to audition for solo and small ensemble opportunities as they arise. SHOW OFF YOUR VOICE! Here’s […]
Enjoy the beautiful harmonies of 3 unique barbershop ensembles in one EPIC show as part of the SING! Toronto Vocal Arts Festival. Harbourtown Sound is a men’s chorus from the Burlington/Hamilton area who will be representing Ontario this summer at the Barbershop Harmony Society’s International Chorus Competition. Mixology A Cappella Chorus (out of Kitchener-Waterloo) is an all-voices ensemble from the Kitchener/Waterloo area and is the top-scoring Mixed Chorus as part of the Mixed Barbershop Harmony Association (MBHA) in Canada. Lastly, Maple Reserve (formerly Yonge Guns) has been entertaining audiences worldwide and is Canada’s premiere barbershop quartet. An open mic afterglow is planned for after the show, so if you want to come with your ensemble, there is even a chance to sing on the big stage! When: May 31, 2023 Where: The Concert Hall 888 Yonge Street Toronto, ON M4W 2J2 Doors 7:30 pm Show 8 pm Open Mic Afterglow 9:15 pm Produced by Jordan Travis https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=708172564648251&set=a.704411888357652
Thank you to everyone for coming out to the best Post-Christmas Christmas Show ever! Extra special thanks to featured guests: The Six / Four, Mo & Amelia (Beatles-A-Day), Romancing the Tone and Sharp Attack – and to everyone who braved the open mic.
This event has been notorious for many years among the Ontario barbershop and vocal community as an exclusive, invite-only gig. Well, this year Mix got our first invite to take the stage for this year’s DAWG HAUS (Nov 4, 2022)!! It’s four-part harmony plus beers plus laughs in a fest hall WITH prizes. What could be better?! Sponsors included Waterloo Brewing, Fixed Gear Brewing, Broil King, and more.

FOR MIX FANS & FRIENDS: First of all, thank you so much for bearing with us over the past two weeks. You would think that after a pandemic, nothing could stop us from performing for you in December. But then, Canada’s meteorologists said, “Hold my beer.” So, after postponing the December concert thanks to Snowmageddon and freezing rain, we’re excited to be able to officially announce the new date for our POST-CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS SHOW!!! Friday, January 20th at 7:30 is the new date for the show. SOMEHOW the stars aligned once again to get the majority of everyone in the same room at the same time – Mixology, 6/4, Romancing the Tone, Mo & Amelia, and Sharp Attack – in combination with availability at our venue, the Schwaben Club. Sip on Christmas cocktails (with or without alcohol), win prizes, nibble on snacks, and soak in performances from Mixology, Six/Four A Cappella, Mo & Amelia, Romancing the Tone, and Sharp Attack. THEN, to make the evening even more perfect, take part in the Open Mic Afterglow, either by taking the stage yourself or by cheering on those who do. You’ve got options 😀 > If you weren’t able to get tickets […]
It has felt so good to be together in the same room and singing again! The last couple of years have been ROUGH to say the least. Zoom rehearsals are not very much fun. We’re also beyond excited to have some incredible new additions to the group. New Mix singer, Brian Otto, sang Bring Him Home (from Les Mis) and brought tears to our eyes. Brian plays in community musicals and theatre productions when not taking the stage with Mixology. PS – We gave him like ten seconds warning before filming this!
How fun was it to open Belmont Village Bestival Music and Arts Fest this morning!?! The weather was perfect. We had a blast kicking off the event and opening ceremonies 🙂

Even though we weren’t able to represent Canada at the Bing! Musik Festival in April due to Covid-19, we wanted to sing a message to everyone in our own way. This is for you, Canada, and for our a cappella friends across the globe. xo
We have been holding our breath as we watched the numbers of COVID19 infected patients rise steadily in Europe over the past two weeks. And even though reality was setting in, we were still holding out hope that the world competition would go forward somehow. Unfortunately, the right call had to be made by Bing!, and that was to postpone the competition for the sake of everyone’s health and safety. Here’s is the official announcement from Bing!…. Postponement of the Barbershop Music Festival 2020 Dear Visitors, dear Participants, dear Members, To our sincere regret the Barbershop Music Festival will not take place in the planned and announced way. We are currently making every effort to find an alternative date.This we will communicate as soon as possible. We hope for your understanding that this may take a few days, as we have to work out solutions with the venues and many other contract partners. As we try to postpone the event as a whole, we ask you not to cancel your hotel, flight and train immediately, but to wait for the actual date, as this could possibly save you money. You should, however, contact the hotels and airlines and clarify your […]
When we first started Mixology, it was with the goal of creating incredible music by incredible singers, with the vision of possibly competing and making it to the Bing! World Musikfestival to represent Canada. Fast forward to October 2019… First competition, somehow scored the highest mixed chorus score in Canada, and are invited to compete in the Worlds. Fast forward to five minutes later, as we realize how expensive this endeavor is going to be for our singers. The March 6th ‘Evening of A Cappella’ fundraiser was all about entertaining our friends, family and fans while helping to raise money toward flights and accomodations for our 37 singers headed to Germany. Well, to say the night was a smash would be an understatement. Every seat was filled, including our VIP tables which were sold out in a matter of weeks. The silent auction, which was sponsored by the many incredible people who donated items, had over 50 items in it and raised over $10,000 alone. There are no words for how blown away by this success we were. There are so many people to thank for the items in the auction. But a super big special thank you goes out […]
The silent auction for this Friday’s Mixology Fundraiser: An Evening of A Cappella is aaaahmazing. From Parry Sound Cottages and Tesla rentals to pro organizing services, chocolate, theatre, stained glass lessons, dance lessons, brewery parties, yoga classes, karate lessons, JD gift baskets, branding photo shoots and so much more! This auction will be epic! See you Friday!

On Feb 1st, 2020, pretty much the entire Mixology chorus headed to Westedge in Mississauga to sing our hearts out for Toronto area fans. Starting at 7pm, the Mix in Mississauga Concert was a fun night full of a cappella harmony by Canada’s top scoring mixed chorus. Every ticket purchased went toward sending our singers to Germany to compete in the world mixed chorus competition – BinG! Musik Festival. The night included great music ranging from Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars to genres stretching from jazz, rock, pop, contemporary a cappella and barbershop! Mix in Mississauga also featured: Sharp Attack Quartet Romancing the Tone Quartet Mixology Chorus Silent Auction Snack Bar & Cafe Special thanks to Westedge Community Church for supporting our event!
