Orpheus Choir of Toronto

Read Profile

The 65-voice choir, under newly-appointed artistic director Thomas Burton, champions the new and unusual in choral performance, commissioning and introducing new works and performing overlooked masterpieces. Orpheus has introduced audiences to many accessible works from the current generation of leading composers. The choir supports young emerging vocal talent through its highly respected Sidgwick Scholars Program and its newer Vocal Apprentice Program for high school singers. Winners of the 2018 Choral Canada Award for Outstanding Innovation, Orpheus continues to present an “expect something different” experience! The 2024/25 season will feature Ernst Bloch’s Sacred Service, Britten’s Ceremony of Carols, The Atonement by Samuel Coleridge Taylor, and a program for choir and fixed electronics.
