The Ottawa Choral Society would like to hear from you. We are a large symphonic chorus, now in our 70th season.  In addition to our own three-concert subscription series, we sing with both the National Arts Centre Orchestra and the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra.

  • Music Director is Matthew Larkin, and Associate Music Director is Kevin Reeves.
  • Entrance into the choir is dependent on an audition to determine placement and readiness for the choir.
  • We rehearse on Wednesday nights from 7:00-9:30, and occasionally on weekends.
  • Auditions for returning and new members will take place in June and/or September.
  • Please visit our Current Season page for repertoire for this season, and the OCS at the NAC page for our NAC engagements.
  • Membership Fees are $220 per season.  Financial assistance may be available.
  • Student fees are discounted 50%.

Requirements:

  • Ability to read music.
  • A basic knowledge of music theory (key signatures, intervals, rhythms, etc.).
