This holiday season, celebrate the many joys of Christmas with your whole family when Toronto Mendelssohn Choir presents “Festival of Carols” for three performances. Held at the majestic Yorkminster Park Baptist Church in midtown Toronto, this concert is filled with treasured carols, rich choral arrangements, and spirited vocal style!

For over a quarter of a century, the annual Festival of Carols has been a cherished holiday tradition in Toronto. It’s a chance for families to mark the spirit of the season by listening to and singing along with classic Christmas carols, while also reflecting on the upcoming festivities. This festive evening is a merry affair, so come continue your music appreciation or start a new family tradition with the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, featuring traditional carols, festive works, and sing-alongs!

Get in the Festive Spirit with Toronto Mendelssohn Choir at One of Toronto’s Favourite Holiday Traditions!

In this performance, you will hear both traditional carols and beautiful contemporary holiday pieces. Led by the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir Artistic Director, Maestro Jean-Sébastien Vallée, this performance is sure to warm hearts and lift spirits through its stunning musical arrangements. Making its World Premiere is “The Treasures”, a new commission by Canadian Composer-in-Residence Stephanie Martin. Inspired by the poetry of Anne of Green Gables author Lucy Maud Montgomery, the piece reflects on the simple joys of the Christmas season.

Featuring pianist Irene Gregorio, organist Jonathan Oldengarm, and the bountiful choir of 160 joyful singers, “Festival of Carols” is a beloved December tradition. Experience the power of live choral music and share the blessings of this festive time through its warmth and exuberance. This concert is the perfect holiday outing for families and holiday music fans of all ages, so make celebrating with the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir an annual event.
