Pax Christi Chorale has maintained a tradition of fine choral singing since its founding in 1987, exploring masterpieces by such composers as Bach, Handel, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Vaughan Williams and Britten, and showcasing talented Canadian guest artists. Many of the choristers are local Mennonites, but the choir has grown to include singers from several faith traditions and cultures. Conductor Stephanie Martin, who has led Pax Christi Chorale since 1996, is dedicated to performing the great works of choral literature, with a view to honouring the composers’ intentions, achieving musical excellence, as well as sustaining a healthy and supportive choir community. Ms. Martin is an assistant professor at York University, where she teaches conducting and leads the early music ensembles. Plans for the 2005-06 season: a Christmas concert of works by Vaughan Williams, Finzi, Britten and Holman; and Mendelssohn’s St. Paul in May. Membership is open to anyone interested in serious choral singing. Rehearsals are Monday nights.
