Read Profile
Toronto Classical Singers is passionately committed to the great choral tradition of the past 300 years. Since our founding 35 years ago, we have maintained a strong reputation for artistic excellence. Our goal is to inspire and delight our audiences with a diverse programme of great masterpieces, as well as less frequently heard works.
Our season runs from September to April, and we rehearse and perform at Yonge and St. Clair. Our concerts feature a full orchestra, established and up-and-coming soloists, and other accompanists. As an auditioned choir we welcome singers of all backgrounds. While we strive for high standards, we offer a supportive environment and we don’t forget to have fun.
We love the music we sing, and we are proud to keep the choral tradition strong and vital in Toronto’s musical community.
