Choirs Ontario is an arts service organization promoting, supporting and celebrating choral music across Ontario. We offer a range of programs and resources, as well as networking and professional development opportunities, helping members build capacity, develop leadership and grow and diversify their audiences. Our goal is to raise the profile and quality of choral music, support the choral community, and educate the next generation of choral artists. The organization celebrates choral achievement and promotes public awareness through several awards and competitions, including the President’s Leadership Award and the Ruth Watson Henderson Choral Composition Competition. Our programs include: SingONtario, an annual festival for community choirs; Choirs Ontario on the Road (a workshop series in regions across the province); and Ontario Youth Choir, a summer choral training program for youth from across the province.

Choralis Camerata has rapidly developed into an accomplished 50-member SATB chamber choir. Now in its 12th full season under artistic director David Braun and accompanist Lynne Honsberger, our mission is bringing quality classical, gospel and contemporary music to the communities of Niagara. In December 2010, we added another dimension of performance by staging Menotti’s opera Amahl and the Night Visitors.

Choralis Camerata has embraced familiar choral treasures such as the Requiems by Mozart and Gabriel Fauré, A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten, Wachet Auf by J.S. Bach, The Seven Last Words of Christ by Theodore Dubois, Christmas Oratorio by Camille Saint-Saëns, Gloria by John Rutter and Handel’s Messiah.

In April 2017 Choralis Camerata made its debut performance in Cairns Recital Hall at the new FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre in St. Catharines, presenting A German Requiem by Johannes Brahms.
