Who We Are
Lady Cove Women’s Choir
Under the honorary patronage of Karen Kain, C.C., LL.D., D.Litt., O.Ont.
Founded in 2003, Lady Cove Women’s Choir was named after the community of Lady Cove on Newfoundland’s rugged yet beautiful east coast. The name Lady Cove is representative of the spirit and philosophy of the Choir: a community of women – a haven where members come, not only to explore their own musicianship, but to share their lives and experiences in a sisterhood. Its mission is to reveal the strength, versatility and beauty of women’s choral music; to expand the repertoire for women's voices by commissioning and reviving works; to assist community groups through charitable activities; and to provide talented and dedicated women musicians with exceptional musical and interpersonal experiences.
This past summer, Lady Cove was one of only twenty-five choirs in the world to participate in the 9th World Symposium on Choral Music, Puerto Madryn, Argentina. Before departing for Argentina in August, the Choir was invited to perform a special multimedia presentation in cooperation with Festival 500 Sharing the Voices, The Phenomenon of Singing International Symposium VIII, and The International Council for Traditional Music World Conference. In August 2011, the choir was highlighted in Chorus America's publication, eVoice.
Lady Cove believes in giving back, and proudly supports community groups and, in particular, youth through the annual Lady Cove Women’s Choir Bursary.
