A Historic First: Chinese Choir Named MARTY Awards Finalist

NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir is honored to be nominated as a finalist for the 2026 MARTY Awards, presented by the Mississauga Arts Council:

🏆 Community Arts Group of the Year Finalists

This marks the first time in MARTY Awards history that a Chinese arts organization has been nominated in this category.

The MARTY Awards are among Mississauga’s most prestigious arts honors, dedicated to recognizing artists and arts organizations that have made significant contributions to the city’s cultural life and community arts development.

As a young Chinese choir, we have always hoped to use choral music to connect cultures and communities.

From Baroque-era Western classical choral masterpieces to Eastern musical traditions and cultural expressions, we strive to create opportunities for people of different backgrounds to listen to one another and grow closer through music.

This nomination belongs not only to NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir, but also to everyone who supports community arts, multiculturalism, and the growth of Chinese arts and culture.

We sincerely thank all our choir members, audiences, collaborators, sponsors, and community friends for your continued support and encouragement ❤️

Looking ahead, we will continue using music as a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures, helping more voices be heard.
