If you’re missing university choir, theatre, and singing harmony with talented voices, Mixology would love to meet you!

Many singers come to us looking for a fresh, exciting performance (and sometimes competitive) group to sing in alongside a fun, welcoming group of incredibly talented musicians. Whether you’re coming from a philharmonic choir, a church choir, or a barbershop chorus, you are welcome here as long as you’ve got the pipes.

Mix auditions are done by Zoom first, with the director, Chris Arnold, then in person after a few weeks of in-person rehearsals with Mix.

Audition Dates: September 21 – Oct 8, 2026

Good to know:

  • Sight-reading is helpful but not required when learning Mix repertoire
  • Learning tracks and sheet music for your audition song will be provided
  • All music is a cappella
  • Auditions are done off-book while singing in a quartet
  • All voice ranges welcome
  • We don’t do a lot of choreography, but we are focusing on stage presence in 2026/2027, taking advantage of our many theatre actors in the group for inspiration and coaching.
  • Fees are the equivalent of approximately $40/month and are billed one season or year at a time.

Interested? Email kwmixedchorus@gmail.com to set up a time to Zoom!

Want to check us out for yourself first? Come sit in on a rehearsal. We’ll probably teach you a tag, and you’ll be provided a guest music book so you can choose to join in if you like.

Want to know who you’re getting in the Mix with? We are a smallish (25 singers) group of aaahmazing voices. Many of our singers have a history of singing in University choirs, church choirs, and barbershop a cappella choirs within the Waterloo Region or Ontario. All have a love for singing harmony. Members are music teachers, music majors, choir singers, past and present directors of other groups, and people who simply love to sing.

Used to instrumental accompaniment? Mix does not use instruments. Our voices are our instruments, including some pretty great vocal percussion. It takes a minute to get used to it, but once you fall in love with a cappella, it’s hard to love anything else!

Ever sung a tag? If no, Chris will fix that! If yes, sweet! So many more to come 🙂

Want a place where you feel welcome? We are all inclusive – all ages, all voices. If you love to sing and you’re not afraid to learn some pretty incredible repertoire, you are welcome in the Mix.
