The acclaimed 100-voice Amadeus Choir celebrates its 31st anniversary this season together with the 21st anniversary of its conductor and artistic director, Lydia Adams.  It is considered to be in the first rank nationally, renowned for its exceptional musicality, glorious sound and high-quality programming.  In 1987, Dr. Adams created the Choir’s annual International Christmas Carol and Chanukah Song Writing Competition.

The choir presents its annual subscription series at the George Weston Recital Hall (where it has been Choir-in-Residence since 1993), and at selected downtown Toronto venues.  It performs with full orchestra or instrumental ensembles, is noted for its stunning a cappella performances, and for commissioning choral works by prominent Canadian composers.

The choir has self-produced two CDs, Ring-a the News! and Songs of the Spirit, and has collaborated with the Hannaford Street Silver Band in Voices on High. The choir has collaborated with the Elmer Iseler Singers on Everlasting Light as well as on a CD devoted to the music of Harry Freedman to be released later this year – both on CBC Records.
