The Harlequin Singers have entertained music lovers as one of Ontario’s largest and premier Broadway music choirs for well over 50 years.
Singing to sold-out shows, “The Harlequins” have developed a uniquely jazzy, mellow sound. Their vast repertoire draws from Broadway musicals, award-winning films, the big band era, jazz, contemporary, and pop charts.
The rich sound of the Harlequin Singers is immediately evident in the music that they perform. Recently they have performed songs from great Broadway shows such as Les Miserables, Wicked, Beauty and the Beast, Come From Away and Phantom of the Opera.
They are committed to excellence in their performances and work tirelessly to ensure that each show is professional and polished.
The Harlequin Singers are looking for a musical director who is interested in professional collaboration with our talented accompanist, passionate about Broadway, and excited about leading a group of about 30 amateur singers (SATB) who are keen to learn up-to-date and challenging arrangements of Broadway music as well as holding on to our roots. We are accustomed to performing off-book.
If you are fun, good-natured, willing to put us to work, and interested in adding your own ‘flair’ to an enthusiastic group of choristers, then The Harlequin Singers is the choir for you.
