New Spaces in May, 2021

Dear Friends and supporters of Pro Coro Canada

I hope this message finds you well and healthy. Here at Pro Coro Canada, we’re getting ready for some additional pivot-ing as new restrictions are coming into place in Alberta. Not knowing when our next rehearsal or concert can take place is of course frustrating, but it also provides some extra time to line-up the 2021-2022 season.

We look forward to revealing our performance events for next season sometime later in June. We are preparing for many unknowns, such as possible restrictions on gathering indoors, and the size of groups allowed to sing. Also important to us is the comfort level of you, our dear audience, when coming back to in-person events. Of course we will follow the guidelines at the moment, and we have been informed that the messaging from the provincial authorities will include concrete advice for the return to performance activities for concert-goers. Later this season, we will send out a survey and hope you will participate and let us know your thoughts around coming to hear us in person.

If you wonder how artistic directors prepare a choral season, in particular during a pandemic, subscribe to our Emerging Artist Newsletter EAR (see below) for a series featuring conductors from across Canada as they describe their work.

I also would like to tell you about a great opportunity to support Pro Coro Canada behind the scenes. Our Board of Directors is looking for a volunteer to join the board as treasurer. The Board of Directors has a crucial role in governing the business of the organization, in providing the policy structure around our operations and in connecting with the community-at-large. Check below for more information.

With my best wishes

Michael Zaugg, Managing and Artistic Director

Join the Board of Directors

The Treasurer ensures that effective financial measures, controls and procedures are put in place, and implemented consistently and appropriately. The term of appointment is for two years with possibility of renewal.

Among other things, the Treasurer will Chair the Finance and Audit Committee which will oversee the annual audit process, and offer guidance to the Board to ensure good fiscal planning, risk management, decision-making and oversight at a governance level.
