St Mary Treblemakers

The St Mary’s Treblemakers is an extracurricular choral program that St Mary High School offers. This is an auditioned female group and all of the Treblemakers are part of the larger SATB choir. The group performs on a regular basis for their school, community events, and at other major North American festivals. The choir has received annual invitations to MusicFest Canada (Nationals) where they consistently received GOLD awards and have attended many Worldstrides Festival of GOLD (invitation only elite choral festival). They accepted multiple offers in New York, San Francisco, and twice in Chicago, in L.A., Nashville, and other American destinations. Each time they perform they receive top marks of 95% and above. These students work diligently and are dedicated to making the best music possible. For the past few years they have also received invitations to sing at Carnegie Hall and had previously accepted an invitation to Cork Choral Festival which was subsequently cancelled due to covid.

Tanya Earle, the choir's artistic director, has a passion for the choral community, exploring complex repertoire and providing opportunities for her students that rises far beyond most high school programs. Tanya is in her 27th year of teaching an elite vocal/choral program that she solely developed from inception. She not only directs the extra curricular choir program but also teaches the vocal music classes. Mrs. Earle’s choral program draws students to the school each year from the surrounding area to gain this experience. It is Mrs. Earle’s commitment and love of choral excellence, as well as the students' love for the program, that develops a community of singers who create exceptional music together. This choir has had the opportunity to sing with many of Canadian great artists, these include: Marianas Trench, Juno award winner the Good Lovelies, Juno award winner Susan Aglukark, Aengus Finnan, and Rajaton, plus many other amazing artists. Recently the choir has been collaborating with choir alumni to form an exceptional choral community in their home town Cobourg, Ontario.
