This celebrated 115-voice choir will present a five-concert subscription series, with two performances at the George Weston Recital Hall (as Choir-in-Residence), and three at downtown churches.  The Choir also performs a number of non-subscription concerts in collaboration with other musical ensembles. The Amadeus Choir, conducted by Lydia Adams, is considered to be in the first rank nationally and is renowned for its musicality and glorious sound.  The Choir performs with full orchestra or instrumental ensemble, and is also noted for its challenging a cappella performances.

Founded 28 years ago, the Amadeus Choir has been conducted by Lydia Adams for the past 17 seasons.  In 1987 Ms. Adams created the annual Christmas Carol and Chanukah Song Writing Competition, serving as an encouragement for composers of all ages and levels of experience to create new works, thus expanding Canada’s outstanding choral tradition.  The Choir has also commissioned several works by prominent Canadian composers.

The Choir has produced two CDs, Ring-a the News! and Songs of the Spirit; and recently recorded Voices on High, produced by the Hannaford Street Silver Band.
