After due consideration for the health and well-being of everyone involved, as well as current restrictions on large public gatherings, the Canadian Chamber Choir and its local presenters must regretfully announce the cancellation of our East Coast tour scheduled for March 20–29, 2020. This decision comes after weeks of monitoring the COVID-19 situation and conversations with provincial choral federations, schools, workshop groups, homestay hosts, singers, our board, and stakeholders. We have been looking forward to this project for over a year and are devastated not to be able to come together for performances and workshops in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick at this time, but confident we have made the right decision for all involved.

As it is too early to say exactly when we will be back on the East Coast, ticket refunds for all four concerts (with proof of purchase) should be requested through our presenting partners:

• Parrsboro: Parrsboro Band Association – Contact (902) 728-2144 or [email protected]

• Fredericton: New Brunswick Choral Federation – Contact (506) 478-2875 or [email protected]

• Saint John: Canadian Chamber Choir – Contact (506) 651-9694 or [email protected]

• Nova Scotia: Nova Scotia Choral Federation – Contact (902) 423-4688 or [email protected]

Purchases made online through Eventbrite or PayPal will be refunded in the coming days.

We do ask for your patience at this time as many Canadian arts organizations are dealing with the fallout from COVID-19 in various ways, and staffing resources may be strained. If you prefer to donate back the cost of your ticket in lieu of a refund, please get in touch with us directly at [email protected] and we will happily issue you a tax receipt. As you can imagine, the financial repercussions of cancelling a tour are significant, and this would help us greatly in weathering the storm.

Until we meet again, stay healthy and take care of each other!
