Toronto Classical Singers is the only choir in the country dedicated exclusively to the great choral/orchestral repertoire. Now in its 29th season, the organization continues to celebrate and contribute to the glorious tradition of choral music in Canada. Known for its unique musical point-of-view, the choir features lesser-known and rarely performed pieces as well as the beloved vocal/orchestral repertoire. Led by founding conductor Jurgen Petrenko, the choir has a long-standing partnership with Talisker Players who accompany the choir in their presentations of the great choral masterpieces.

Auditions are usually held in September, however, this year we are inviting interested singers to contact us through our website. When we can resume our rehearsal/production schedule, our audition coordinator will be in touch.

Etobicoke Centennial Choir (ECC) is a welcoming, inclusive SATB community choir. We strive to enrich the lives of our choristers and community through inspired performances of diverse choral repertoire, ranging from classical masterpieces to contemporary compositions and popular music. ECC offers amateur singers a challenging and supportive choral music experience, facilitated by our professional music director, accompanist and section leads. As a result of public health guidelines related to the global coronavirus pandemic, the 2020-2021 season will be like no other in ECC’s 54-year history. We plan to offer virtual rehearsals on Tuesday evenings, working on both repertoire and vocal training. If conditions permit a safe return, we hope to perform a concert in late spring 2021.
