Schola Magdalena is a six-voice ensemble singing medieval polyphony, chant and new music for women’s voices. Ensemble-in-residence at the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, Toronto, we have recorded two CDs (available on iTunes) and have toured from Stratford to Chicoutimi, from Waterloo to Waupoos. Our past season centred around touring, recording and holding workshops with amateur singers interested in learning about Gregorian chant and the music of Hildegard von Bingen. Our May 23rd concert celebrates 100 years of Votes for Women in Canada, with chant and polyphony, ancient and modern, and the organ music of Quebec composer Rachel Laurin. In the coming year we look forward to a return to Prince Edward County. For details, please visit our website, our Facebook page, or check out our Bravo Video on YouTube.
