**Menno Singers** is a Canadian nonprofit choral organization based in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario. Founded in 1955 by Abner Martin, Harold Good, Doris Moyer, and Edith Shantz, the choir initially served as a musical outlet for Rockway Mennonite School graduates but later expanded to include non-Mennonite participants[1][5]. Registered as a charitable organization (Business No. 868958356RR0001), it operates under a volunteer-led executive committee[3][4].

### History  
Menno Singers debuted in December 1955, modeling its early repertoire after U.S. Mennonite college choirs with a cappella English hymns[5]. By 1962, it transitioned to more complex works, including Latin Mass settings accompanied by orchestras[5]. The group formalized ties with Conrad Grebel College in 1974 and began receiving grants from the Canada Council and Ontario Arts Council starting in 1975[1][5].

### Activities  
The organization maintains a focus on sacred music while emphasizing choral excellence. It has produced three recordings: *Rachmaninoff’s Vespers* (1992), *See Amid the Winter’s Snow* (2000), and *Cloths of Heaven* (2009)[5]. The choir established the Abner Martin Music Scholarship in 1981 to support Mennonite music students[1].

### Leadership  
Artistic Director Brandon Leis, a graduate of Wilfrid Laurier University, leads the ensemble. The organization is managed by a volunteer executive committee[2][3]. Menno Singers continues to offer auditions for experienced singers and maintains educational programs for all ages[2][4].
