The ensemble regularly commissions Canadian composers and also runs an annual composition competition.
The choir has released three successful recordings, including Presenting Chronos Vocal Ensemble (2015) and The Simplest Way: The music of Trent Worthington (2016), reviewed glowingly in Anacrusis magazine: “I would highly recommend this CD to lovers of choral music… very fine singing.” The most recent release is Fresh: New Music From Canada, featuring new music from eleven Canadian composers. Chronos is regularly heard on CBC Radio.
In 2015 Chronos Vocal Ensemble won Choral Canada’s biannual Competition for Canadian Amateur Choirs, and in 2016 was recognized by the City of Edmonton’s Salute to Excellence for bringing recognition to Edmonton.
