We believe that choral music is not only a distinct expression of artistic and creative achievement or a welcome form of entertainment; it is above all, a source of great power to shape and support the community-at-large. We want to offer our music to you in new and more diverse ways so that we can be accessible to everyone. Our new ventures reflect the challenges of gathering with friends and families during the pandemic and we want to ensure that we remain accessible should future circumstances continue to make singing in-person a challenge.
As a professional choral organization, our singers are paid on a per-hour basis for every rehearsal, every concert and any coaching or workshop they lead. We manage this through selling tickets, receiving generous support from private and corporate donors and from government funding agencies.
Our Digital World includes the same work behind the scenes as our live, in-person performances. Our singers are paid to prepare new works individually and in small groups, under the direction of the artistic director, and with support of our staff. We purchase scores, rent venues and contract technical personnel to record our music. As we move to offering our music in digital form, and later again in-person, we want to make sure we can keep paying our singers and our staff. Providing infinite availability of our performances in a digital form for free is not sustainable for Pro Coro Canada.
The results will inform planning and operational decision-making. If you have any further questions, please contact us via thechoir@procoro.ca If this survey sparks your interest in supporting and volunteering for our organization in any way, please write to us at thechoir@procoro.ca
