ÒRAN

[ oh-RAHN ]

Centering authenticity and expressiveness in performance, Òran is the busiest adult choir in the Korora Choirs family. Along with many Korora alumni, the group has singers from many other walks of life, but all share a passion for choral music and singing. Òran has garnered a growing reputation for excellence in choral singing as well as innovative and eclectic programming.

Òran has toured extensively over its twenty-four seasons, with destinations including the Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Cuba, Germany, France, and the Czech Republic. The choir has also been honoured by two invitations to sing at Podium, Canada’s biennial national conference for choral music. Closer to home, Òran is thrilled to share the stage with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra a few times every season. In July 2027, they are planning a major international tour to the Philippines and Indonesia.

Singing in Òran opens my mind to perspectives I would not have explored otherwise. It brings meaning to words I may not have read otherwise. It makes my heart happy.
