As part of St. John’s Elora's 150th anniversary, the Choir of St. John's Elora is celebrating with two new choral commissions from internationally renowned composers <a href="http://www.sarahquartel.com" target="_blank">Sarah Quartel</a> (Canada) and <a href="https://www.wisemusicclassical.com/composer/6363/Roderick-Williams/" target="_blank">Roderick Williams</a> (U.K.). Each of these composers will be writing a 4-5 minute piece, to be premiered by the choir in 2025 and released as online videos and for streaming. All donors will receive an exclusive preview of the premiere video recordings before they are made available to the public! We aim to raise $10,000 to support these commissions. Contributions primarily support the commissioning fees for our partner composers. Donations above our target amount support recording costs to create the premiere videos of these works, and/or will be directed to support future commissions. What that means for you: Donations of any amount at any time are significant, welcomed, and make an impact!

St. John’s Elora sustains a proud tradition as a regional centre of musical excellence with an international reputation, including supporting Canada’s premiere professional church choir, two additional choirs for adult community singers, the Elora Children’s Choir and frequent performance events.
