Premieres & Commissions

Championing new works by living composers is a pillar of Choeur Adleisia's mandate, with an emphasis on works by Canadian composers and/or women and nonbinary composers. Since our inception in 2015, we have commissioned multiple new works for treble choirs, and performed numerous world premieres.
