Sacred Music Society
2003-2004 Profile

Celebrating Traditional Sacred Music.
The Sacred Music Society (SMS) is comprised of two large choirs, one chamber choir and a professional symphony. What makes the organization particularly special is its unique commitment to performing great sacred repertoire in the context of unity, friendship and charity. Now beginning its 8th season, the 100-voice SATB, Sacred Music Society Adult Choir performs at many liturgical and concert events in the GTA. The World Youth Day Choir was established to satisfy the need for choral accompaniment during events taking place at World Youth Day 2002, including performances at all Papal events. The formation of this 500-voice SATB youth and young adult choir resulted in international acclaim, with recognition by a local audience of 800,000, and a television viewing audience of over 1 billion.  The WYD Choir continues with an ambitious rehearsal and performance schedule.  The Sacred Music Society Chamber Choir of about twenty semi-professional voices performs regularly in the GTA, and Southern Ontario, and is especially known for its cutting edge interpretations of Palestrina’s Masses. Auditions for the SMS can be arranged by calling the office.
