WHAT IS THE NATS ONTARIO VOCAL SHOWCASE?
The NATS Ontario Vocal Showcase (live and virtual) is an opportunity for singers to perform a set of pieces from a choice of three genres – Classical Voice, Musical Theatre and Popular Voice/Commercial Music. At these events singers meet and hear other vocalists, NATS teachers network with their colleagues, and everyone has the chance to hear a variety of repertoire.
Registration for both LIVE and VIRTUAL opens on Friday, September 4, 2026.
Visit www.auditionware.com to register. Students must be registered by their teacher.
LIVE registration deadline is Monday, October 26, 2026 at 11:59 p.m.
Please see Handbook for specific details.
Classical, Musical Theatre and Popular Voice/Commercial Music classes are offered each day in a “day by age” format. Singers may enter any or all categories in their appropriate age division for both Live and Virtual Vocal Showcases. Please read the category descriptions carefully and refer to the individual categories for specific rules and repertoire requirements. Failure to adhere to class criteria will result in disqualification from placement and scholarships.
Where will the ‘Live’ Vocal Showcase be held in November 2026?
Faculty of Music at University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario
How do I register?
