Metropolitan United ChurchMetropolitan United is blessed with several choirs and groups that perform regularly. The Metropolitan Choir is an auditioned choir of 25 members. They sing during the weekly Sunday worship service and at special events. Weekly rehearsals on Thursdays prepare the choir for its performances. The choir offers a wide repertoire, ranging from 17th-century to modern composers. The choir often features Canadian works, some written expressly for the group.

The Metropolitan Festival Choir is an auditioned choir assembled for our annual Good Friday concert—a Toronto tradition of more than 30 years. The Festival Choir rehearses on Sunday afternoons for six weeks prior to Good Friday. This choir is an augmented choir that includes members from Metropolitan United and the broader community. The Handbell Choir is an ensemble of 11 players who play a three-octave set of handbells and hand chimes. The choir performs a range of music, from traditional church music to arrangements of modern hymns and folk songs. The Metropolitan Silver Band has been a part of the Metropolitan United community since 1934. This brass and percussion ensemble performs a mix of classics, marches, religious music, popular selections, and contemporary works.

Toronto Classical SingersToronto Classical Singers uphold the highest standards in performing works from the past 300 years. Now in our 35th season, we continue to delight Toronto audiences with the best of this wonderful musical heritage – and we always welcome new members!

Our choir is highly regarded for its commitment to professionalism and for a repertoire spanning the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods. Under the baton of John Holland, our new Artistic Director, the choir continues its long-standing partnership with the Toronto Classical Players, an accomplished orchestra that accompanies the choir's performances.

For our 2025-26 season, we are pleased to present two concerts. On December 7, 2025, we will perform Magnificats by three different composers: JS Bach, CPE Bach, and Zelenka. For our April 19, 2026, concert, we present Mozart’s Vesperae Solennes de Confessore, and Dvorák’s Mass in D and Psalm 149.

Our Western choral tradition has brought great beauty into this world for centuries. That has never been more important, and the Toronto Classical Singers are dedicated to ensuring that this vital, inspiring tradition endures and thrives.

If this is your kind of music, then come sing with us!

20th ANNUAL DIRECTORY OF MUSIC MAKERS

We are pleased to present our 20th annual Blue Pages, a directory of music presenters and arts services published every year in our October magazine, and maintained year-round online, under the “Who’s Who” tab at thewholenote.com. This year’s 152-profile portrait of musical life in the Greater Toronto area and Southern Ontario has two segments: section 1 reflects the wealth and diversity of music presenters and performers in our region – orchestras, choirs, opera companies, chamber ensembles, etcetera; section 2 is for individuals and organisations providing services to artists in the communities we cover, predominantly artist managers and publicists.

We’d like to thank all who have chosen to participate in this year’s Blue Pages; individuals and organisations whose support and dedication helps sustain not only The WholeNote but the music community in general. If your organisation missed being part of the October Blue Pages, we’ll be publishing a “latecomers” supplement in the November issue. And the online directory accepts new members year round.

For information on the benefits of a WholeNote membership (of which this Blue Pages profile is a feature), please contact Karen Ages at karen@thewholenote.com or 416-323-2232 x26.
