The Symphony Nova Scotia Chorus was established in 2001 under the leadership of its longtime chorus master Jeff Joudrey to provide a highly trained symphonic chorus for performances with Symphony Nova Scotia. The Symphony Chorus includes auditioned singers from across the province, as well as the Halifax Camerata Singers as the core choir.
Each December the Symphony Chorus performs Handel’s Messiah with Symphony Nova Scotia. The ensemble also has appeared in exciting performances of Brahms’ Requiem, Haydn’s Creation, Mozart’s Mass in C Minor, J.S. Bach’s Mass in B Minor, and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.
