Durham Shores Chorus chartered August 23, 1994, and is comprised of an enthusiastic group of women/other marginalized genders singers varying in age and occupations who come together once a week to fulfill their passion for music, by singing 4-part harmony a capella.
Our repertoire includes a wide range of music and includes selections from broadway, movies, rock, pop, country, and even some classics.
We have shared our love of music by performing within the community at a variety of venues, including at the City of Oshawa's Merry and Bright tree lighting event, Denise House gala, senior's residences, vigils, Remembrance Day event, singing our national anthem at the Canada Day opening ceremonies at Lakeview Park, at the Oshawa Generals hockey games, at the Blue Jays major league baseball games and at the Presidents Cup national lacross games, as well as our own performances open to the public.
Being part of a teaching organization, we continually learn through regular practices and scheduled coaching sessions where we bring in top notch coaches to prepare us for upcoming regional competitions.
Each year, our region, which is comprised of approximately 950 women/other marginalized genders, gather to compete and enjoy a weekend of entertainment barbershop style. Renowned judges give detailed feedback on performances, which, in turn, allows us to focus on individual areas that need fine tuning. Competitions represent exciting opportunities to travel, perform and learn while enjoying a truly bonding experience. As a contestant at this annual event, we've won various awards, most recently bringing home 1st place medals in our division in 2025 and 5th overall.
