CMWC Halifax
The Canadian Military Wives Choir Halifax was founded in October 2017 by Victoria DeVita and Melanie Perry. Since our very first rehearsal, we have grown to 21 members.
CMWC Halifax welcomes all ladies who are spouses/partners of military members, as well as currently serving and retired female members who are interested in joining. Come out and join the fun! You can find us practicing on Monday evening from 6:30-8:30 at Stadacona Faith Centre at CFB Halifax.
Musical Director: PO1 Charmaine Chaddock
PO1 Charmaine Chaddock is our MD and is also a member of the Stadacona Band of the Royal Canadian Navy and has served as a military musician since 1996. She grew up singing, Highland dancing, and playing the flute.
Charmaine is thrilled to be posted back home after enjoying previous postings in Victoria, Ottawa, and Edmonton.
Charmaine studied music performance formally at the University of Ottawa BMSU and the University of Toronto MMus. She is a busy mother of two and enjoys gardening, playing soccer, sailing, golf and running.
