Toronto Beaches Children’s and Youth Chorus
TBCYC, founded in 2005 by artistic director Bronwen Low with the invaluable contribution of drama instructor, Joanne Mitchell, has grown from a membership of 30 to over 150 children and youth (JK and up) from all over Scarborough and Toronto’s East End. 2016 marked the inaugural year of the Youth Chorus.
TBCYC welcomes all, regardless of ability, offering a high quality musical and dramatic experience within an atmosphere where hard work and fun coexist. Each year, TBCYC choristers are involved in many concerts and events throughout the city. Every spring, the choir mounts a fully-produced musical production. The 2018 show is “James and the Giant Peach.” TBCYC also recently began touring. Most recently in 2016, they participated in the DCINY festival, where they sang as members of the ensemble at Carnegie Hall.

Proudly marking its 50th anniversary, the Toronto Chamber Choir of around 40 skilled singers has held a prominent place in Canada’s early music scene since 1968. It specializes in Renaissance and Baroque repertoire, collaborating regularly with Toronto’s rich pool of period instrumentalists, but also with forays into other periods. Four concerts per season – two Saturday evening concerts and two Sunday afternoon “Kaffeemusik” presentations – explore the cultural context of our repertoire through narration, often with a special guest expert. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings at St. Patrick’s Parish Hall with occasional Saturday “retreats.” Auditions for new volunteer members are held anytime by arrangement with the director, while auditions for our Toronto Chamber Consort section lead program are held in May or June.
The award-winning Toronto Children’s Chorus marks its 41st season, and its 12th under artistic director Elise Bradley, this 2018/2019 season.

More than 300 choristers develop skills in vocal technique, sight-singing and music theory each year. Main Choir offers masterclasses and exceptional performance and recording opportunities, including with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
