Sarv Music Academy Choir

Sarv Music Academy Choir,was formed in 2013 with the initiative of soprano Mona Manoochehri and Behrouz Bakhtiari. It has attracted singers from the Iranian community in Toronto and has been training, practicing, and performing regularly since it’s launch. Training has included vocal training and techniques, solfege, and preparing for performances. Their repertoire includes Persian and English pieces. Past performances include Sarv Academy student concerts and Tirgan 2013 spontaneous (flash mob) performance. In Tirgan 2015, Sarv Music Academy Choir 15 vocalists and a pianist will perform an attractive set of choral repertoire, including folk songs from all corners of Iran, songs about homeland, and other popular melodies arranged for choir, from sweet lullabies of Gorgan, and jolly melodies of Guilan to energetic songs of Kurdistan. Most melodies of our homeland are not ordinarily sung together, but by a solo singer. Singing these songs as a group in harmony, brings to life a new aspect of their beauty, and singing together deepens a sense of group work and collective identity.
