Niagara’s Avanti Chamber Singers, under the direction of Dr. Rachel Rensink-Hoff, is a community-based mixed chamber choir, performing mainstream choral literature, both accompanied and a cappella, including Canadian and Niagara-based composers. Our performances typically include a wide array of old and new musical styles, from short compositions to extended choral works. We give three season concerts each year as part of Brock University’s Viva Voce Choral Series.
Auditions are available year round but are typically scheduled in early fall, early winter and late spring. No preparation is necessary. Potential choristers will meet with the conductor to perform O Canada, some vocal exercises and a simple music reading test. All voice types are invited to audition; tenors are especially welcome.
