Support Ensemble Laude

You can support our work through donations, sponsorships, purchasing our music, or advertising in our concert programmes.

The Ensemble Laude Choral Society (ELCS) is deeply grateful to the volunteers, donors, sponsors and funders who help us give back to our community. We provide opportunities for women and non-binary individuals from diverse backgrounds to perform at a high level of excellence.

We host concerts throughout the year and regularly commission works by Canadian women composers. Our unique mentorship program trains aspiring youth artists, ensuring the future of choral excellence. We’re also proud to give back through fundraising concerts for community organizations such as Bridges for Women, Women in Need, and Rainbow Kitchen.
