The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir family has two outstanding choirs, the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir and the Toronto Mendelssohn Youth Choir.  The TMC is Canada’s world renowned large vocal ensemble, maintaining a tradition, since 1894,  of performing and commissioning the finest choral repertoire.  The Choir is comprised of over 160 volunteer singers and the Elora Festival Singers, who form the professional core of 20 singers.

Under the artistic direction of Noel Edison, the TMC presents its own subscription series and appears frequently with the TSO and in broadcasts on both CBC networks.  Its repertoire stretches from early Baroque to world premieres of commissioned works.

The TMC’s 2001/2002 season begins with Orff’s unforgettable Carmina Burana, featuring the combined 300 voices of the TMC and Kitchener-Waterloo Philharmonic Chorus, joined by the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra..  In December, Richard Ouzounian joins Noel, the Choir,  and the Hannaford Strteet Silver Band for the annual Festival of Carols at Roy Thomson Hall.  In the spring, join the Choir for 3 concerts featuring choral masterworks of Mozart, Haydn, Fauré, Duruflé, Bruckner, Schubert and Martinu.
