Journey, The Kokopelli Choir Crawl

“Journey” from choir to choir along
Edmonton’s historic Church Street

Journey, the Kokopelli “choir crawl,” is back for a fourth edition!
In a one-of-a-kind musical event, all seven Kokopelli Choirs (plus our traditional guests the Braille Tones) will spread out Saturday, June 3 along Edmonton’s Church Street Heritage Area.
It’s a literal choral journey, as audience members travel from venue to historic venue along 96 Street. Along the way they’ll enjoy 20-minute sets by each of the choirs.

“We introduced this format in 2015, and it provided the perfect wrap-up for our season,” said Kokopelli Artistic Director Scott Leithead. “It feels like a mini-festival, with people choosing their own adventure up and down the street to explore buildings and hear choirs. We’re especially excited to be back at Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples, which has been beautifully restored since the 2020 fire. It has always been a beloved second home for our organization.

The afternoon wraps up with a raucous massed-choir singalong in the park next to Sacred Heart.

Audience members can check in at St John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church (10759 96 St.) before 3:00 p.m. Saturday, June 3, pick up a map and schedule, and then choose their own paths through the various performance venues—all within easy walking distance. Tickets ($25, $20 students, $15 children) are available online at kokopellichoirs.com/events and at the door.
