Elmer Iseler Singers

The Elmer Iseler Singers are a celebrated Canadian professional chamber choir rooted in Toronto, carrying forward the legacy of their namesake, legendary conductor Elmer Iseler. Founded in 1979 and later renamed in his honor after his passing in 1998, the ensemble has become synonymous with precision and artistry in choral music, particularly championing works by Canadian composers. Known for their crisp harmonies and dynamic interpretations, they’ve premiered over 300 pieces, including collaborations with living artists—evident in their recent releases like David Braid’s *Corona Divinae Misericordiae* and Peter-Anthony Togni’s *Lamentatio Jeremiae Prophetae*.

Balancing tradition and innovation, the group’s repertoire spans centuries, from J.S. Bach’s timeless cantatas to modern explorations like Andrew Staniland’s *Dark Star Requiem*. Their recordings, such as *Welcome Yule - Christmas Songs* and Vaughan Williams’ *Serenade to Music*, showcase their versatility and commitment to storytelling through song. Whether performing sacred works, contemporary commissions, or festive classics, the Elmer Iseler Singers remain a pillar of Canada’s choral scene, blending technical brilliance with heartfelt expression.
