One-year membership fees (CAD $)

See membership benefits chart below!

INDIVIDUAL: $113 (incl 13% HST) 
ie. conductor, composer, singer, administrator/manager, board member, educator, accompanist, advocate, any individual!

STUDENT (FULL TIME): $39.55 (incl 13% HST) 
Individuals who are currently, or have been within the past 24 months, enrolled in full-time studies at a secondary or post-secondary educational institution

EDUCATIONAL & LIBRARY INSTITUTIONS:  $113 (incl 13% HST)
ie. post-secondary institutions (university, college, cégep), libraries or music/choral departments

*PROFESSIONAL / NATIONAL CHOIR: $113 (incl 13% HST)(see *Important* explanation below)
A "national choir" is a choir whose choristers live across the country. For the purposes of Choral Canada’s “professional choir” membership category, it is expected that a professional choir sustains artistic employment for singers by paying all singers for all rehearsals and performances on an hourly / per service basis and the choir has paid artistic and managerial staff. (Please note that the membership category does not reflect on the level of performance of the choirs, and this definition should not be used for funding determination, and the definitions used by Canada Council for the Arts and other arts funding organizations are broader and may include a jury process or other criteria to determine eligibility).

​
INDUSTRY / CORPORATIONS: $197.75 (incl 13% HST)*
ie. tour companies, music stores, publisher, for-profit festivals and competitions, etc.
*Non-profit industry organizations receive the rate of $113 (includes 13% HST). Contact the Choral Canada office to receive the discount code before filling out the membership form. 
*Important: Membership for non-professional/national choirs is processed through your Provincial Choral Organization (PCO). If your non-professional/national choir is a member of a PCO, the choir automatically becomes an Affiliate Member (non-voting, see membership benefits in the chart below) of Choral Canada. Affiliate Membership does not provide any membership status or benefits to an individual associated with that choir (conductor, singer, administrator, etc.). Individuals must be Individual/Student members of Choral Canada to access membership status and benefits. Please contact Choral Canada or your PCO for more information.

How to Purchase or Renew Memberships

Membership is annual. As of August 1, 2021, your membership begins on the day you purchase your membership. Membership begins upon receipt of payment. To purchase or renew your membership, fill out the registration form below or click here.
