About This Cause
Choirs Ontario offers a range of programs and resources, as well as networking and professional development opportunities, which help members build capacity, develop leadership and grow and diversify their audiences. Our goal is to raise profile and quality of choral music, support the choral community, and educate the next generation of choral artists and audiences. The organization celebrates the achievements of choral music and promotes public awareness of the art form through several awards and competitions, including the President Leadership Award and the Ruth Watson Henderson Choral Composition Competition. One of our key programs is a summer training program for youth from across the province, titled Ontario Youth Choir. Since 1971 this program has empowered young musicians to bridge the gap between high school, university and the start of their careers, ensuring that trained voices will continue to be available to Ontario’s choirs. As the bridge between school choirs and professional choirs, Ontario Youth Choir (OYC) trains well-rounded and skilled musicians and serves to inspire young, talented choristers to continue to pursue the choral arts. Other signature programs include SingONtario, an annual choral festival for community choirs, and Choirs Ontario on the Road, workshop series in regions across the province, were launched. SingOntario serves vocal groups of all ages and genres, focusing on choral growth and development through performance, non-competitive adjudications and workshops. Choirs Ontario on the Road is designed to develop vocal tone and build musicality and efficiency into the rehearsal, the program is a great resource for organizations in rural areas.
