Church of St. Mary Magdalene Choirs 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES   Beginning in 1921 with the arrival of Healey Willan, the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene has fostered a choral tradition unique in Canada. Stephanie Martin now continues this tradition as our latest music director. The weekly celebration of Anglo-Catholic liturgies includes participation from several ensembles. The Ritual Choir sings Gregorian chant under the leadership of our Cantor, Rob Castle. The  acclaimed Gallery Choir, whose EMI recordings garnered international praise, specializes in a cappella repertoire, both ancient and modern. Informal groups include the SMM Singers and the Chant Club. The newly formed Schola Maria Magdalena sings medieval and renaissance music for women’s voices, particularly Hildegard, and Birgitta of Sweden.   Highlights include Michaelmas Sept 30; All Saints and All Souls Nov 1 and 2; Mozart’s Requiem on Nov. 11 at Christ Church Deer Park; Festival of Chant Nov. 25; Advent Carol service Dec. 16 at 4:30pm; Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve beginning at 11pm; and our particular Holy Week services, including Tenebrae, March 16–23. Our season concludes with a concert and tour to Washington DC.   Stephanie Martin, director 416-531-7955 Stephanie.Martin@stmarymagdalene.ca www.stmarymagdalene.ca
