Organized by

The Muskoka Men of Song

Founded in 1984, “The Muskoka Men of Song” is an open, men's choral group based in South Muskoka. The members share a love of music, a desire to perform to the best of their ability and a dream of helping others realize their own musical potential through the “Sean Kelly Memorial Bursary Fund”. Over the past years we have awarded over $60,000 to young musicians in the Muskoka area, some of whom have gone onto great careers in music. They are pleased to share their love of Music throughout the communities in Muskoka.  

The money is raised at public concerts in June and December. Some of our bursary recipients perform in the program with the “Men of Song” during these concerts.  We also sing at other events during the year, as a public service.  Included are Remembrance Day, The Trek to Bethlehem in Bala as well as at retirement homes and funerals.  The men enjoy the camaraderie and the joy of singing as well as the fund raising.

Feel free to explore our web site and learn more about our choir, our people, our history, the people we support and the people who support our fund raising efforts.  Maybe you would consider joining us?
