Toronto Chamber Choir has held a prominent place in Canada’s early music scene since 1968. An accomplished group of 30-40 auditioned singers, TCC specializes in Renaissance and Baroque repertoire, working with period instrumentalists, but also exploring music from other time periods and cultures. TCC usually gives two evening concerts and two afternoon “Kaffeemusiks” that contextualize our repertoire through narration and a multimedia component.

We rehearse on Wednesday evenings at Church of the Transfiguration on Manor Rd. E, just west of Mount Pleasant Rd., with occasional Saturday “retreats,” often featuring guest presenters. We are currently seeking new members, with auditions anytime by arrangement with the director. We welcome diversity in our membership.
