TORONTO, ON - Harbourfront Centre is
currently collecting beefs, gripes and nuisances for the
World Stage 2010-11 Complaints Choir.
For anyone with a penchant for complaining, this is the perfect
opportunity to participate in a community-based project and
express grievances great and small through song.
Harbourfront Centre’s World Stage has enlisted the talents of
award-winning composer Bryce Kulak to transform
these exasperations into lyrics and compose the song that the
Complaints Choir will sing at various locations during the week
of March 21-26, 2011.
This is the perfect opportunity for anyone, of any age or
gender, to participate in the high-spirited Complaints Choir
both by submitting their gripes and joining the choir to turn
daily frustrations and negative issues into an affably
harmonious community composition.
Those interested in contributing their complaints and
participating in this enriching experiencing can visit

call 416-973-4430. Choristers will meet in mid- to late-January
with rehearsals taking place in early March. People of all
singing abilities are encouraged to participate. Submission of
complaints and participation in the choir is absolutely free of
charge. Light refreshments will be served.
Developed by Finnish artists Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver
Kochta-Kalleinen, the first Complaints Choir was organized in
Birmingham, U.K. in 2005. After sweeping successes in Europe,
the U.S. and Canada, the Complaints Choir movement has reached
the heart of Toronto’s waterfront. To learn more visit
