The Chorale has had a successful eleven years of performance both at home in Toronto, throughout Canada and the United States, and also into Europe. As we embark on our twelfth concert season, we will be presenting another sensational three-concert series at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto, as well as touring to Northern Canada and Western United States.
