Read Profile

The Elora Singers, under the direction of Mark Vuorinen, have established an international reputation as one of Canada’s finest professional choirs. Founded in 1980, it is the ensemble-in-residence of the Elora Festival for three weeks each summer, in addition to presenting a regular concert series, producing recordings, and touring across Canada and internationally.

Mark Vuorinen, Artistic Director, and The Elora Singers, are proud to announce their 2025-26 concert program. The season begins in November with a luminous pairing of Maurice Duruflé's "Requiem" alongside John Sheppard's "Media Vita". December brings two of their most beloved traditions: Handel's "Messiah" and Festival of Carols, featuring a newly commissioned work by composer Sarah Slean.

In February, they present Soup and Song: Motets Through the Centuries, an intimate afternoon of music by Palestrina, Pärt, Imant Raminsh, and others — complete with a shared meal. In March, they perform Sarah Kirkland Snider’s stunning "Mass for the Endangered". They close the season in April with Jonathan Dove's "The Passing of the Year", joined by participants in their Singer's Studio for Ensemble Singing.
