Tempus4Us children's choir ;ages 7-14; takes a child's love of singing balancing a musical education of sight-singing, ear-training and theory , with a varied musical repertoire!
Tempus Jazz is a mixed choir of inspired singers striving to develop their musical skills while balancing an atmosphere of fun and camaraderie!

Tempus has two mandates:

•  to promote excellence in choral music both in Ontario and on a National and International level through concerts, competitions and choral festivals
• to foster musical youth groups by including them in Tempus performances to help fund noteworthy local causes by raising money through performances and sales of their CD's

We are proud to have competed and medaled in the World Choir Games 2012.  We were thrilled to have performed Messiah at the Lincoln Center, NYC on December 1, 2013. Tempus performs under the direction of Brian L. Turnbull and is accompanied by Jane Wamsley.

Our membership is made up of singers from all walks of life with many from the professional community.  They come to Tempus to have fun producing choral music of the highest standard.  New members are welcome during the fall and at selected times during the year arranged with the Director of Membership.

Our Tempus4Us Children's Choir and Tempus Jazz Choir was founded in 2015 as part of a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Both choirs perform at Tempus concerts.
