About Festive Voices 

Calgary’s most experienced Christmas caroling a cappella quartet. 

Our Story

Festive Voices was established in Calgary in 2018, but our Christmas caroling tradition reaches back much further.

Our co-founder Valerie Hudson was also one of the founding members of Christmas Cheer, a now-retired Calgary caroling group established in 1989. Christmas Cheer originated with singers from the Calgary Opera Chorus, where Val was singing at the time.

Today, Festive Voices continues that legacy with professional four-part SATB a cappella quartets — soprano, alto, tenor and bass — bringing the warmth, beauty and unmistakable sound of Christmas harmony to audiences throughout Calgary and surrounding communities.

Our singers are experienced, professionally trained vocalists drawn from Calgary's diverse musical community. Many have performed with professional choirs and ensembles throughout the city, while others have joined Festive Voices through different musical paths. What brings us together is a shared love of beautiful harmony, joyful performance and creating those magical moments that make the Christmas season unforgettable. 

Our Passion for caroling

All our singers have one goal, and that is to sing and do it as much as possible. None of us can imagine Christmas time without this in our lives.
