| 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. |

AuditionsNow booking auditions for August 29th and 30th, and early September! Entrance into the choir is dependent on an audition to determine placement and readiness for the choir. Your audition will require an aural and sight reading test. Auditions also require you to perform a short solo (standard choral repertoire, art or folk song). Please bring a copy of the music for our accompanist. To arrange an audition, contact our CHOIR MANAGER. | Requirements of MembersMembership in the chorus requires a certain level of music and vocal capability:
| Membership FeesWe are a member supported chorus which relies partially on the financial commitment of our member choristers to sustain our organization and concert season.
