Toronto Mendelssohn Choir
2005-2006 Profile


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 world-renowned, maintaining a tradition of performing and commissioning the finest choral repertoire. The Choir is comprised of over 160 volunteer singers and 20 members of the Elora Festival Singers, who form the professional core.

Under Noel Edison, the TMC presents a subscription series and appears frequently with the TSO and in broadcasts on CBC. Its repertoire stretches from early Baroque to world premieres of commissioned works.


The TMC’s 2005/2006 season begins in November with Orff’s Carmina Burana and continues in December with Festival of Carols featuring Canadian jazz vocalist Matt Dusk, and its annual Messiah performances with the TSO. In spring 2006, the Mendelssohn Singers present Bach’s St. John Passion and the TMC presents the Fauré and Duruflé Requiems.  All members of the TMC family join together on May 12 in a gala performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and the world premiere of David Stone’s The Prophet: “On Love”.
