Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Harlequins associated of any other organizations in Hamilton?: Yes. The Harlequins are members of the Hamilton Arts Council. Originally, the Harlequins were a support group for the Hamilton Theatre Inc., however in 1975 they branched out on their own.

Do the Harlequins profit from their concerts?: The Harlequin Singers is a not-for-profit group of singers. Any money earned from our concerts goes back into improving our presentation. This includes wardrobe, staging, and lighting and sound equipment. Concert proceeds cover only a small portion of our on-going expenses.

Can I made a donation to the Harlequin Singers?: Absolutely. If you would like to help sustain the choir, we will be happy to send you an income tax receipt complete with our Charitable Number.

How often do the Harlequins present their concert series?: We present concerts twice a year: at Christmas and in the Spring. In addition to these concerts we present concerts for seniors and fund-raisers.

Have the Harlequin Singers received any grant money?: Yes. In 2003 the Harlequins received a $14,400 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. This money will be used to support the performances of the Harlequin Singers, particularly since the group brings Broadway tunes and popular music to local seniors’ homes and performs at many community events.

Can I join the Harlequins?: From time to time openings for new voices become available. At those times, auditions will be conducted by the Musical Director. For more information about auditioning for the Harlequin Singers, contact the Music Director, or call 905-575-9360.

Can I arrange a concert?: By all means! You could hire us to perform at your next event. Call our acting Business Manager, Jack Packer at 905-575-9360.
