VOCA Chorus of Toronto

Read Profile

The VOCA Chorus of Toronto, a dynamic, auditioned ensemble under the artistic direction of Jenny Crober, performs a broad range of repertoire in collaboration with a variety of superb guest artists. VOCA's seasons consist of concerts, cabaret fundraisers, community performances and workshops. Our talented, versatile accompanist is Elizabeth Acker. Some of VOCA's remarkable clinicians have included composer Ola Gjeilo, conductor Ivars Taurins and jazz musician Dylan Bell.

Our 2022/23 season will return with in-person sessions (and updated COVID protocols). VOCA's professional leads will be featured in a cabaret fundraiser on October 16. Our "Winter's Eve" concert on December 17, with Sybil Shanahan, cello and Daniel Morphy, percussion, will present works by Sarah Quartel, Astor Piazzolla, Ola Gjeilo and others. VOCA's annual Cabaret/Silent Auction will return on March 4, 2023. We will perform two concerts celebrating the night sky with Shawn Grenke, organ, Colleen Allen, sax, and Jamie Drake, percussion, featuring works by Andrew Balfour, Morten Lauridsen, Nicholas Ryan Kelly and others - first on April 28 at our Roy Thomson Hall debut, then on April 29 at Eastminster. Rehearsals are Monday nights at Eastminster (Chester subway).
