About
The Amadeus Choir is a 90-member semi-professional choir drawing members from the GTA and surrounding communities. It presents a subscription series of concerts each season, in addition to performing with other choral and instrumental ensembles at concerts, public events, and benefits throughout the year. Founded in 1974, the Amadeus Choir, now under the direction of Artistic Director and conductor Kathleen Allan, has become known for its professionalism, exceptional musicality, and diverse, high-quality programming. In addition to the Amadeus Choir’s regular concert series, the choir takes an active role in Ontario’s choral community by working in collaboration with other prominent local ensembles, such as the Elmer Iseler Singers, Bach Children’s Chorus, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Hannaford Street Silver Band, Gryphon Trio, and True North Brass.
