Friends of Music at St. Thomas's Church

Read Profile

Friends of Music at St. Thomas's (honorary co-chairs, Larry Beckwith and Molly Johnson) hosts a concert series featuring an exciting array of artists specialising in everything from Renaissance music to jazz, and Western classical repertoire to traditional music from around the world. The Friends of Music program supports artists by providing a venue they love performing in, and helps fund the free music program that St. Thomas’s Anglican Church offers for children (grades 2 to 12). The St. Thomas's Choristers learn ensemble singing, vocal technique, and music theory in a fun atmosphere (stthomas.on.ca/choristers).

Our 2025/26 concert series includes: French and English music of the Hundred Years' War, performed by Comtessa and Diapente Renaissance Quintet; our second sing-your-heart-out Hymn Festival; a program by Lute Legends; a special evening with Molly Johnson; the superb Eybler Quartet; sitar player Neha Mahajan, and two trombone virtuosos (see stthomas.on.ca/concert-series).

In addition, St. Thomas’s liturgical music program is renowned for excellence. Evensong at 5pm every Sunday features choral music that ranges from plainchant to repertoire of the British cathedral heritage, to works by contemporary composers.
