Below is a listing of the past five years of our regular Concert Series. Several of the concerts were performed with Baroque Orchestra, using “original” instruments from the period when the music was written. The soloists included many of Canada’s leading singers of Early Music. The Kaffeemusik concerts included talks by our Music Director, interspersed with performances of related works. The other concerts were preceded by pre-concert talks, again delivered by our Music Director.
In addition to the regular Concert Series, the Choir presented a number of special performances in a variety of locations, often as part of festivals, or in collaboration with other organizations (see Venues).
