Amadeus Choir
Founded 33 years
ago, the Amadeus Choir is the 100-voice, semi-professional choir-in-residence
at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. During Artistic Director Lydia Adams’s
23 years as conductor, the Choir has become one of Canada’s preeminent choral
groups. The Choir rehearses Tuesday evenings in the Church of The Ascension, 33
Overland Drive, Don Mills. Membership is by audition, held in May/June
each year. The 2008/09 season features the Choir’s annual four-concert
series featuring works by Benjamin Britten, Howard
Cable, Eleanor Daley, Ruth Watson Henderson, Carl Orff
and John Rutter, as well as J.S. Bach’s magnificent St.
John Passion. The Choir’s season also includes single performances,
run-outs and recording sessions.
