Sing with Us
Do you have a passion for singing and choral music? Are you interested in joining a supportive community of like-minded individuals? Do you want to challenge your mind, develop your singing voice, and improve your choral skills?
We are now accepting singer applications for next season.
Sonus is an inclusive and welcoming community looking for singers of all identities, backgrounds, and professions who sing within the tenor-bass range.
You’ll join a tight-knit group of people with similar interests, who grow together as musicians and friends, who find joy in singing at a high level, and who share the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with every performance.
If you are interested, please fill out the Singer Interest Form below!
Unsure? All our rehearsals are open.
We encourage you to visit and see if Sonus is for you!
Why Sing with Us?
It's Good for You!
Music making exercises the brain as well as the body, but singing is particularly beneficial for improving breathing, posture and muscle tension. (Oxford University)
It also reduces stress and improves our mood. (Try singing when you’re mad.
Doesn’t work, does it?)

FAQ
When and where are rehearsals?
Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings from 7-10pm at Wellington Square United Church in Burlington, minutes off the QEW. The standard choral season is from Sept-May each year.
What is expected of me as a singer?
Like any team activity, success takes practice and dedication. Singers are expected to attend rehearsals, prepare material prior to rehearsals, and improve their own musicianship and abilities through regular practice. WE are at our best when YOU are at your best, and we share that responsibility equally as a collective.
What sort of music does Sonus perform?
We love the range of music we sing. From classical choral repertoire to newly commissioned pieces, jazz to theatre, barbershop to Pentatonix (yes really), we sing it!
Is there a membership fee?
Yes, however singers will not be turned away due to financial barriers and we are happy to work with you to find a path that works. Membership for the season is $200 and can be made in full or installments.
Can I visit a rehearsal?
Absolutely! Every Sonus rehearsal is open to anyone who would like to attend. If you are interested, please send us an email to let us know you’re coming! This is a great opportunity to get a feel for the rehearsal process, meet fellow singers, and experience what Sonus is all about.
How many performances?
Typically a season will include 2-3 formal concerts. Additional performances may be added throughout the season outside of our concert series. These may include holiday events, community events, fundraising events, etc.
Do I need to buy/rent special performance outfits?
No! Our performance attire is likely something you have in your closet already.
