Convention & Competition
April 30 - May 3, 2026
Edmonton, Alberta
Dearest Gentle Reader,
The time has come to sharpen your ears and steady your hearts. The incomparable voices of Region 26 are gathering for our annual competition and convention.
It is a thrilling display of harmony that is, quite frankly, the talk of the Ton. While the public is invited to witness this vocal finery, only the most diamond-standard performers shall secure their invitation to the International stage. Do not find yourself left out of the season’s most melodic affair; it promises to be a spectacle of the highest order.
