Canterbury Voices
Celebrating its 58th Anniversary in 2027, Canterbury Voices has grown into the premier symphony chorus of Oklahoma, bringing singers and audiences from throughout our great state to the place where music truly comes alive! Canterbury Voices was founded in May 1969 as Canterbury Choral Society, and met at All Souls Episcopal Church with 60 singers. Today, the 173-member adult chorus is the largest of its kind in Oklahoma. All singers are auditioned, most with extensive musical and stage experience, and come from all over Oklahoma. In addition, Canterbury also leads a 200-voice youth music education program named Canterbury Youth Voices for children and youth grades 2-12.
