Amadeus Choir 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES The acclaimed 100-voice Amadeus Choir under artistic director Lydia Adams is renowned for its exceptional musicality, glorious sound and high-quality programming – all a reflection of the leadership provided by Dr. Adams.   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, and a cappella, and is noted for commissioning choral works by prominent Canadian composers. Auditions are held in June and throughout the year as needed.  The Choir’s 07/08 season “Refresh Your Spirit” opens on November 10 with a Remembrance concert entitled “Humanity in Time of War”.    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 and the Elmer Iseler Singers. The Choir’s new CD The Tokaido features the Amadeus Chamber Singers and the Iseler Singers performing choral music of the late Harry Freedman.  The Choir will be featured at Podium 2008, presented by the Association of Canadian Choral Conductors.   Lydia Adams, conductor/artistic director Judith Young, general manager: 416-446-0188 amachoir@idirect.com www.amadeuschoir.com
