The Ottawa Choral SocietyJoin a great tradition and experience the possibilities of Ottawa’s premier symphonic chorus.We are a member driven, member governed, and member supported non-profit organization, open to member choristers from the Ottawa region and beyond. Joining the chorus offers numerous benefits including development and mentorship from our artistic team as well as the extraordinary experience of performing exciting and challenging repertoire during our concert season. Choristers experience the thrill of performing the masterworks of the choral literature with Jean-Sébastien Vallée, our new OCS Music Director and choral pedagogy clinician, along with world-class concert artists, distinguished NACO guest conductors, and Ottawa’s leading instrumentalists. Auditions are closed for the 2019-2020 Season, however, we would still welcome basses to audition. |
