About Choral Canada

Choral Canada is the national voice of the Canadian choral community, representing and uniting a network of conductors, educators, accompanists, composers, students, administrators, choral industry leaders, and more than 42,000 member choral singers from coast to coast to coast. Choral Canada promotes, celebrates and advocates for Canadian choral music and musicians nationally and internationally. Choral Canada encourages excellence in the choral art through our programs, including the National Youth Choir of Canada (NYC) the NYC Conducting Apprenticeship, Podium (Canada’s national choral conference and festival), the National Competition for Choral Writing, the National Competition for Canadian Amateur Choirs, our Student Chapter, and our academic choral journal Anacrusis (published three times a year).

​In 2016-17, Choral Canada produced with Hills Strategies Inc. the first ever national choral census which found that 3.5 million Canadians sing in a choir. Choral Canada not only serves its membership, but also strives to serve the entire Canadian choral community. By connecting choral communities with information, resources for professional development, and advocacy tools, Choral Canada inspires greater awareness of choral singing across the nation and beyond. 

​Choral Canada’s greatest strength is our membership. Membership is open to anyone interested in choral music. Through our partnership with Canada’s nine provincial choral organizations, member choirs of the provincial organizations are Affiliate Members of Choral Canada: a network of approximately 45,000 singers, who benefit from Choral Canada’s communication and advocacy tools, as well as our core programs and services. This number continues to grow year after year.
