New Music Therapy Program in Partnership with the National Music Therapy Institute

In collaboration with the National Music Therapy Institute, the Montreal Shira Choir has launched a new group music therapy program in 2025. Two small groups meet weekly for therapist-led sessions focused on well-being, self-expression, and connection through music. Activities include singing, percussion, and more, and no musical experience is needed. This initiative offers a unique opportunity for choir members to explore their creativity, build confidence, and engage in meaningful musical experiences.

The Montreal Shira Choir, a beacon of unity and empowerment, stands as a testament to the transformative potential of music. Guided by the visionary leadership of Cantor Daniel Benlolo and skillfully managed by Muriel Suissa, the choir has embarked on an inspiring journey of growth and inclusivity. By embracing voices from diverse backgrounds, the Shira Choir fosters an environment where neurodivergent young adults find their unique melodies of strength. With a vibrant new space in Decarie Square, including an inviting office, expansive rehearsal area, and a versatile auditorium, the choir is poised to weave new harmonies of connection within the community. Committed to their mission, the choir introduces innovative programs, enhancing their renowned Music Therapy initiative with Therapeutic and Social therapies. As they amplify their reach and put on more live shows, the Shira Choir's expansion echoes the resilience and joy that music ignites within each member.

The Montreal Shira Choir is an honored recipient of the Nova Grant from the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal.
