The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir is proud to be one of Canada’s oldest, largest, and most recognized choral ensembles, renowned for 131 years for delivering the highest standard of musical performance. We invite you to experience our concerts, educational and community engagement programs. All are welcome here.

This renewal marks a pivotal moment for Canada’s premier symphonic choir, affirming Vallée’s transformative leadership and setting the stage for an ambitious new chapter in the organization’s storied 131-year history.

Join us for Eric Whitacre’s The Sacred Veil, a deeply personal reflection on love, loss, and healing. Written with poet Charles Anthony Silvestri, it tells the true story of Silvestri’s wife, Julie, who passed away from ovarian cancer at 36. Through luminous music and text, this intimate work offers space for remembrance, connection, and quiet reflection during Cancer Awareness Month.

Join us for a Singsation workshop with Dr. Elaine Choi, whose inspiring journey through breast cancer has moved musicians nationwide. Through powerful repertoire, explore resilience, courage, and connection. Sing together in a supportive community, and experience how music fosters hope, unity, and strength in the face of adversity.
Your gift will support the artistic excellence that the TMChoir stands for, honouring our commitment to providing audiences with the very finest choral experiences in Canada, and reaching out locally, nationally, and internationally through our education and community engagement programs.
“The Choir went on from strength to strength throughout the performance. This was, in every way, the finest B Minor Mass I have ever heard in a live performance.”
“Hearing the TMChoir sing my piece ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ was a dream come true. The choir delivered a stunning premiere of the work, engaging wholeheartedly with both the musical and philosophical elements of the work, and lifting the music passionately off of the page.”

“Well, there are not enough words to adequately express my enjoyment of last night's performance. It was thrilling from beginning to end. The emotional impact was huge. It has been a very long time since this city has been treated to an authentic large choir performance of this calibre.”
“Can I just say that yesterday evening started a new era of choral music in the city of Toronto?!?! Remember the date! Bravo!”
