In March of 2020, Choral Canada pivoted away from in-person events, as many organizations did, including our biennial Podium Conference and Festival and the silent auction fundraiser that had been planned for May 2020. Choral Canada’s focus became advocating on behalf of the Canadian choral arts sector, providing information on digital knowledge, navigating COVID-19, and connecting choirs, singers and conductors across the country to share resources and support each other.
As we look forward with optimism, Choral Canada is hosting its first-ever online silent auction from March 2nd to March 12th, 2021. We are seeking donated items for this essential fundraising event which will generate financial support not only for the new initiatives developed over the last many months, but ongoing programs & services, such as the National Youth Choir of Canada, Podium Conference & Festival, our resourceful choral journal Anacrusis and our Student Chapter initiatives. Plans are underway for 2021 and 2022, and donor support for our auction event is key to being able to realize these exciting projects.
Choral Canada is also seeking sponsors for this event - click to read more about this opportunity to reach a national choral audience.
