Sacred Music Society
2004-2005 Profile

   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 9th 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. The formation of this 500-voice SATB youth and young adult choir resulted in international acclaim.

   The Society’s 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.

   New in 2004 is our unique after-school program for children. The “Sacred Music Society Sparrows” children’s choirs have been established in the communities of Scarborough, Whitby and Oshawa and are open to all school aged children. For more information call the SMS office.
