    • Chœur Maha

    Chœur Maha explores innovative feminist music with high energy performances and a decidedly non-traditional take on choral music. Over the years, many singers have passed through the portals of Choeur Maha, and moved on to successful careers as artists and teachers. The choir has been a pillar of support for female, non-binary, and trans choral music in Montreal since its launch in 1991 by Kathy Kennedy. Sarah was appointed Artistic Director of Chœur Maha in 2021.

    Rock Camp Montreal

    Rock Camp Montreal fosters the promotion of self-esteem, skill-building and critical thinking skills for girls, non binary, trans and gender non-conforming youth through collaborative music composition and performance. Rock Camp supplements the music component with workshops based on feminist and anti-oppression frameworks that provide campers with a space for critical examination and personal empowerment.
