Toronto Mendelssohn Choir

Read Profile

The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir (TMChoir) is one of Canada’s oldest and largest choral organizations. Founded in 1895 during Massey Hall’s inaugural season, it has been a leader in Canadian choral music, commissioning works by Canadian composers, presenting world and national premieres, and collaborating with renowned orchestras such as the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the National Arts Centre Orchestra.

In May 2021, Jean-Sébastien Vallée became Artistic Director, only the eighth conductor in the Choir’s 130-year history. TMChoir aspires to introduce audiences to choral masterworks — both renowned and lesser-known — making them accessible and inspiring to all.

The choir includes the TMSingers, a core of professional singers, and over 130 auditioned volunteers.
