The Greystone Singers are a mixed-voice choir open by audition to all University of Saskatchewan students who love singing and enjoy learning a challenging and varied repertoire. Since 1958, when they were first organized, well over fourteen hundred young men and women have sung with this award-winning ensemble. This year's choir consists of forty students from the Colleges of Arts and Science, Education, Engineering, and Kinesiology, as well as majors in the Department of Music.

The Greystone Singers have been national semifinalists over the past six years in the biennial CBC National Radio Competition for Amateur Choirs, and in May 2006 won second prize in the University Choirs category. Besides performing at many local events, festivals, and with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra, the Greystone Singers annually tour throughout Saskatchewan. They make frequent appearances elsewhere in Canada and occasionally visit the United States, Europe and other countries, including Cuba. The choir will tour to China in May 2010, followed by a performance in Saskatoon at Podium—the national biennial convention of the Association of Canadian Choral Communities.
