Pledge to make a difference, together.
Founded by its current artistic director Scott Leithead, the Kokopelli Choir Association has been providing quality choral music performance and instruction in the Edmonton area and beyond since its inception in 1996. Over the years, the association has grown from a single youth choir to a family of 4 choirs; with each choir focusing on bringing spirit and artistic integrity to their performances.
Kokopelli, the original youth choir, with members ranging in age from 14 to 24; Òran, which includes new members as well as past Kokopelli members aged 20 years and older; Shumayela, an apprentice choir with members in the 10 – 14 year old age group; and Kikimasu, our newest addition with singers aged 8 to 12.
The choir is known for their unique style of presentation, which combines high quality musical delivery and artistic staging. The choirs have a diverse repertoire, ranging from canonical repertoire to avant garde contemporary works and African traditional pieces.
