The Tafelmusik Chamber Choir, specializing in Baroque and Classical performance practice, was formed in 1981 to complement the orchestra under the direction of Ivars Taurins. The Chamber Choir has become one of the most fêted in North America, awarded the Healey Willan Prize in 1991 and described as “the best period-performance choir anywhere in the world” (The Globe and Mail).
The Chamber Choir has made several critically acclaimed recordings, including a live-concert CD of Handel’s Messiah recorded in 2011 at Koerner Hall, which was nominated for a 2013 JUNO Award. Tafelmusik’s annual performances of Messiah and Sing-Along Messiah have become an established part of Toronto's holiday tradition. In the 2016/17 season, the Chamber Choir celebrated its 35th anniversary.
