In the spring of 1990, the Singers expanded their activities beyond the Festival season with a tour of Baltimore, Buffalo, New York City, and Washington. During the past two seasons the choir has performed in centres throughout southern Ontario. In addition to Elora Festival commitments
and their own highly acclaimed Winter Series, the Singers are regularly
featured on the CBC. In November 1997, the Elora Festival Singers released
a new Christmas CD - The Mystery of Christmas - on the international NAXOS
label. This CD, which sold more than 30,000 copies in the eight weeks following
its release, was nominated for a Juno Award. In 1997, the Elora Festival
Singers were appointed as the professional core for the Toronto Mendelssohn
Choir.
