We are Colamici - and we are friends. Some of us have performed with each other for 35+ years…with a singular purpose…to share our music with appreciative audiences…to connect with them and to make our experience with them worthwhile, memorable, and rewarding for them.
William Shakespeare's text explores the feelings of a “false friendship'“ that can lead us to a feeling betrayed and bitter, like the freezing, unkind, and sharp bite of the winter's wind. John Rutter's musical treatment of Shakespeare's work brings it all to life. We've added pictures to further amplify the harshness.
It was a pleasure for us to perform this composition at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish where we found only true friendship and kindness.
Have you ever wanted to have the wings of a bird so that you could soar over the mountains, the streams, the forests, the hills, or the villagaes and towns and the people down below? Let us take you there with our drone, "Chippy Colamici". Feel the peace and serenity and the sounds of friends making wonderful music together.
There is nothing quite like the sunrise and the sunset…there is a wonderful “glow”. Eric Whitacre’s composition, “Glow” is testament to that. We were happy to add some imagery to his gorgeous piece of music.
We performed John Rutter’s, “Christmas Lullaby” at Immaculate Heart of Mary to a very appreciative audience. The video incorporates images of each of our members as produced and provided by Heather Pin Photography.
Jeff Christmas dedicated this composition to Laura in commemorating her time with the Amabile Youth Singers of London, as they celebrated their 35th anniversary. Laura holds the honour of being Amabile’s first accompanist as she served the choir under the direction of John Barron and Brenda Zadorsky.
This recording is the first live performance/world premiere and was performed in April of 2025 at Mountainview CRC in Grimsby.
This one became a crowd favourite and a choir favourite in a hurry…while Pink Zebra’s identity is a mystery, the power of the music is not!
This video features Canadian, Stephen Hatfield’s arrangement of “The Virgin Mary had a Baby Boy”. We begin with video from inside the very beautiful St. Augustine’s church and then move outside to the Dundas Driving Park.
Our members are from across southern Ontario…where Christmas trees are abundant. Michele’s Weir’s arrangement is a fine tribute to O Christmas Tree.
Audrey Snyder’s arrangement is haunting and picturesque…makes you want to reach for a cup of hot cocoa!
Our performance of this Kirby Shaw arrangement in 2025 was pretty special for us. Performing it on the shores of the Hamilton Bay on a cold and windy day tested both our tenacity and our friendships :). We passed both tests admirably and now have another story to tell around the campfire.
This video montage features Colamici on several outdoor stages across Hamilton, highlighting several Christmas carols. It was cold (ask “Chippy” the drone), but it was a thoroughly enjoyable day of celebrating friendship through music. Special thanks to Daelyn Sarabura for her videography, helping us produce this, our Christmas gift to you.
Sometimes unexpected things happen during a recording session…and those bring about other unexpected things…which make one want to laugh, but…
