The Tradition Continues December 4th & 5th

The year spiced with everything from Palestrina to Lightfoot, Bel Canto once again serves up a delightful mélange of seasonal choral works, and invites you to join them in singing some Christmas favorites. 

Planning to attend all our shows this year? Looking for a great gift idea? Bel Canto is offering a limited number of season tickets

With a banner season of three unique concerts in 2026/27, including a spectacular gala evening with The Kiwanis Youth Choir and The Elm City String Quartet,  we have decided to offer prime seating for all three events as a package, at no added cost to the regular ticket price. Fully transferrable,  these tickets will give you worry-free access to the first three rows. We hate ad pitches, but since there are only 30 available seats: Hurry! Act now! Don't Wait! While supplies last! Tick-tock!

Raison d'être

For more than fifty years, The Bel Canto Singers have been bringing excellence in choral performance to audiences through the exploration of works spanning the traditional to the experimental, and from ancient to modern. Why? Because we love it.

Choral Stewardship

Hundreds of choristers have passed through our ranks over the years, and at times, the choir has had three family generations represented at the same time (as it does today).  Maintaining a healthy choral community in New Brunswick is key to continuing this tradition.
