Tallis Choir of Toronto

Read Profile

Founded in 1977, the Tallis Choir is one of Canada's principal a cappella choral ensembles and continues to offer Toronto audiences a wide array of choral music. Under the direction of Peter Mahon, the choir is best known for its interpretation of Renaissance music and has presented the first Canadian performance of many rarely heard pieces of the period. The choir's repertoire ranges from Gregorian chant to contemporary music. Previous seasons have featured critically-acclaimed performances of Handel's Coronation Anthems, Bach's Six Motets, Victoria's Requiem and Rachmaninoff's Vespers. The Tallis Choir has also appeared on stage in multiple programs at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto, and has been a finalist in the CBC Choral Competition.
