Esprit Singers

Esprit Singers prides itself on imaginative programming that appeals to its audience. Founded by Valdine Anderson, with Rachel Dyck as piano collaborator, Esprit is considered Winnipeg’s premiere upper voices choir. 

Esprit Singers began in the fall of 2011 as a twelve-voice ensemble created for a single event. Loving the experience, the group has grown to its present organization with over thirty singers, a regular concert season and a devoted audience. 

Esprit Singers has collaborated with some of Canada’s top musicians including international touring organist Sarah Svendsen and Juno Award-winning pianist Corey Hamm.

Esprit Singers maintains a commitment to commissioning new works for treble voices to connect with current directions in new music and stretch its choristers. 

While new commissions feature largely in Esprit’s concert series, traditional choral repertoire is frequently paired with the new, keeping programming interesting, fresh and thought-provoking for its audiences.
