Current Opportunities
Chorus Niagara
invites applications for the position of
Artistic Director
Location: St. Catharines, Ontario
Position Start: June 2025 for the program year 2025-2026
About Us: Chorus Niagara is the area's premier, auditioned community choir of over 80 singers. We are a large, symphonic choir that engages professional orchestras and soloists. Typically we perform four concerts per season, plus other special engagements. Programming ranges from new choral commissions to contemporary and classical master works. Rehearsals are held weekly on Monday evenings throughout September to May.
In addition to performances, Chorus Niagara provides educational and youth programming in the community, including the Chorus Niagara Children's Choir, the Side-by-Side High School Chorale, the Associate Conductor role and the Robert Cooper Choral Scholars.
Chorus Niagara engages in community outreach by programming works to involve community and post-secondary level singers in large works, (e.g. Verdi Requiem, Beethoven Ninth) and collaborations with other choirs not able to mount works singularly such as the Berlioz Requiem. Chorus Niagara connects with the local community by performing in long-term care/retirement homes in December with “Carol Share” day. Chorus Niagara actively branches out into the community through its annual Singathon fundraiser, reaching new audiences and fostering awareness for choral arts. Additionally, our recital-style “Salon” fundraiser specifically supports youth engagement programs, reinforcing the importance of cultivating young local talent and building a vibrant future for the arts within the Niagara Region.
Chorus Niagara has strong organizational infrastructure: two staff comprised of a Managing Director and an Administrator; volunteer-supported operations and fundraising; and solid leadership from the hands-on, working Board of Directors.
Our Vision is to awaken and lift the human spirit through the experiential power of the choral art.
Our Mission is to be a cornerstone of the Niagara arts community through creative and passionate programs that entertain and enthrall.
