Read Profile

The Edison Singers is a fully professional chamber choir led by internationally-acclaimed Artistic Director and Conductor, Dr. Noel Edison. We produce concert series in communities across southwestern Ontario becoming an integral part of the musical life of each.

We bookend our 2024/25 with programs featuring composers whom we call “choral mystics.” The leading Canadian exponent of this is Timothy Corlis. His music is transparent, lush, evocative, energetic and deeply spiritual. We will record a selection of his works in the Fall for the recording label Naxos. You can attend a preview concert of this recording at the Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate in Guelph on September 29 in a program entitled “Missa Pax: Choral Works by Timothy Corlis”.

It's hard to believe that Handel wrote his towering Messiah in only 21 days in 1741. His spectacular musical journey is one that has become a Christmas tradition for so many of us. Another December treat our concert of carols, songs and readings entitled “O Hear the Angel Voices”.

On Good Friday 2025, we perform one of J.S Bach’s premiere works, The St. John Passion, with full orchestra. For our last concert, we are back to our mystical theme with “Choral Mystics: Ancient & Modern Reflections”.
