Capella Regalis is a Canadian charity dedicated to training singers and performing choral music of the highest excellence. Founded in Nova Scotia by director Nick Halley in 2010 to build upon the best aspects of the European tradition of church choirs and to revitalize this method of music training in Canada, Capella Regalis now comprises a Boys Choir, Girls Choir, and professional Men's Choir (including Young Men with recently changed voices) as well as two introductory choirs in Halifax, and a satellite program in Lunenburg for children from Nova Scotia’s South Shore communities. There are currently 125 children singing in Capella Regalis programs every week. All Capella Regalis Choirs are free and open to any child who is keen to learn music.

Capella Regalis Choirs regularly sing Choral Evensong in the Cathedral Church of All Saints, Halifax, as part of the Cathedral's Sundays at Four series. The choirs also perform concerts around Nova Scotia and beyond in a busy September–June season, including the ground-breaking annual, free masterwork collaboration, For All the City, the popular annual Christmas series, A Chorister’s Christmas, and annual tour programs of sacred and secular repertoire ranging from Gregorian Chant to works by living composers. Capella Regalis projects include top-notch musicians from around the world, and the choirs engage the public in unique music outreach initiatives. Capella Regalis has released five CDs, most recently Songs of the Sea (June 2025), as well as many online performance broadcasts. To see and hear audio and video recordings, find upcoming events, and discover more about the programming and philosophy of Capella Regalis, we invite you to visit capellaregalis.com.
