Richard Eaton Singers, Edmonton’s premier symphonic chorus, invites interested and qualified applicants for positions as vocal section leaders in the tenor and bass voice parts. The qualifications for these positions include strong vocal ability, excellent reading skills, and leadership qualities appropriate to working in a choral ensemble environment. Tasks will include attending all rehearsals and performances in the choir’s 2018-19 season; providing vocal and musical direction to the section; acting as a liaison between members in their section and the music director; and periodically conducting sectional rehearsals as required.

RES is committed to introducing new works to their audiences, and regularly commissions Canadian composers. Recent commissions include works by Allan Bevan, John Estacio and Christos Hatzis. RES performs regularly as a guest choir with the Edmonton Symphony, and frequently collaborates with other orchestras such as the Alberta Baroque Ensemble and the Edmonton Youth Orchestra. The choir also conducts periodic tours both within Canada and internationally; its most recent tour to Great Britain in July 2017 was a great success.
A summary of RES’s performing dates is given below. The choir conducts weekly rehearsals on Tuesday evening, 7:15 – 10 pm, in the Fine Arts Building on the U of A campus. The choir’s music director is Leonard Ratzlaff, who will be celebrating his 38th year with RES this coming season.
