The Choir has been a finalist in both the CBC choral competition for amateur Choirs and the International Choral Kathaumixw in Powell River, British Columbia, and participated in the non-competitive Festival 500 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. It has also been the guest Choir at Saskatchewan Sings, and sang at the installation of Lynda Haverstock (a former member) as Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan. In 2010, the Choir performed at Podium, the biennial conference of the Association of Canadian Choral Communities, held in Saskatoon. The Choir’s repertoire has been rich in variety since its establishment, and Canadian music has always been an important component of its programming.

Recorded live on May 4, 2014, at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Concert Choir Ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Among the many figures carved on medieval cathedrals, one may find examples of foliate heads—a figure in which leafy foliage sprouts and elaborately ornaments a frieze, façade, or column. This figure is known as "The Green Man" and was mainly a northern European and Celtic symbol of the regeneration of life, a symbol of May, and the return of spring. The Eostre Sun It cuts my eyes Open to the wind and rain All around, the Earth breathes deep I come alive again I am the Green Man of the woods The wounded and the broken land I am the fire in the red stag's eye The touch of lover's hand Of a lover's hand Oh, let me speak Lend me your tongue To sing the trees and streams Sing the dark blood of the hills The Moon ...    less

In this song, a water nymph has fallen in love with a human prince and beckons the moon to find him and tell of her longing for him. Text: La Luna, La Luna, Your light sees through endless time, Tell, o tell me where my love lies. O moon e'er you pass, Wake my dreaming lover, I am waiting, I am calling, Tell him, light his place. Ah, moon, help him remember and dream of me, Tell him, O tell him, Who is waiting, who is longing! I am waiting, longing! Longing! Tell him come, tell him, O moon.
