We wish them all the best as they each conduct a concert this fall with the choir.
As part of the process each candidate will spend two weeks in the Edmonton area meeting singers, board, staff, and the community.
The concert audiences will be invited to participate in the decision-making process:
The decision of the new artistic director will be announced in early 2012.

These three finalists were selected over a lengthy process that started with twenty-eight applicants and over several months was reduced to a shortlist of five candidates.
We thank all candidates who applied for the position of artistic director.
The standard was very high, and decisions amongst the search committee of seven were carefully considered!
