Sing With Us
Have you always wanted to sing the great choral works? Why not join our choir? We're always looking for singers who would like to join their voices with ours.
Weekly rehearsals are Monday nights from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm September through April, holidays excluded. Our rehearsal hall is at Christ Church Deer Park, 1570 Yonge Street, two blocks north of St. Clair Avenue - the same venue where we present our concerts.
Ready to sing? Drop us a line at members@torontoclassicalsingers.ca to arrange an audition. Please put "Audition" in the subject line, and in the email provide your full name and vocal section. Tell us a little bit about yourself too, such as your choral experience and your ability to read music.
We promise lots of wonderful music!
Still not sure? We invite you to sit in on a rehearsal to see us in action.
We can't wait to meet you!
What's In It For Me?
A Unique Experience
We perform with a professional orchestra and soloists under the baton of John Holland, our conductor and artistic director. If you've never performed with a live orchestra, you're in for a treat. It's a thrilling experience!
Expert Musical Guidance
John takes a dynamic approach to conducting. His intimate familiarity with the repertoire provides members with a full and inspiring musical experience. We also hold section workshops to enhance your musical growth, and we provide MIDI files which are indispensible for learning your part.
It's Tons of Fun
Rehearsals are always lively, with lots of laughter and camaraderie. One of the great strengths of our choir is the breadth and depth of our members' choral experience. We strive to perfect our grasp of the familiar favourites, and to master works we haven't yet sung. There's a marvellous sense of achievement that comes from delving into the essence of a musical work and delivering a peerless performance for our audience.
New Friends and Other Rewards
The benefits of singing together are well known. When a group of individuals are completely - and literally - in tune with each other, a kind of collective consciousness arises. The many physiological, mental, and social benefits of choral singing promote a wonderful sense of well-being. Friendships are forged when a group of people work toward a common purpose.
