The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir organization
has three outstanding choirs - The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, The Mendelssohn
Singers and The Toronto Mendelssohn Youth Choir. The TMC is Canada’s
world reknowned 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 2003/2004 season begins with
a 110th Anniversary performance of Mendels-sohn’s Elijah, featuring Gary
Relyea in the title role. In December, Richard Ouzounian is featured
alongside the Choir in its annual Festival of Carols at Roy Thomson Hall.
In the spring, join the Choir for 3 concerts featuring choral masterworks
of Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Brahms, Handel and Walton as well as the Canadian
premiere of Ruth Watson Henderson’s From Darkness to Light.
