​​ABOUT US
​​RESOUND is Durham Region’s newest contemporary-classical choir. Founded in 2019, the choir has mandates of excellence in choral performance and meaningful community outreach. Our outreach component is comprised of premiering 4-part arrangements of emerging composers, creating community with singers across the Region by singing large choral works together with orchestra, and working with front-line community service organizations to raise awareness and support of their work. We are a registered charity with a very active 12-person Board. Our Artistic Director, Thomas Burton, has a Master of Music degree in Choral Conducting from the University of Michigan and has received numerous prestigious music awards.

TWO WAYS TO PARTICIPATE
  • Audit choir rehearsals.  This option is for people who want to improve their singing skills without the pressure of an audition, attendance expectations, or virtual recordings (although we will ask you to voluntarily participate in one of them with the core!).
  • Join the core choir.  For the 10-minute virtual audition, singers are asked to prepare a 1-2 minute a cappella excerpt that shows their voice well.  In addition, the Artistic Director, Thomas Burton, may ask for any of the following:  range check, sight reading, sing backs, vocal exercises.  Core choir members have attendance requirements and must participate in all virtual recordings.
