Music - The Choir

Our professional is Stephen Powell, organist and choirmaster extraordinaire!

The Choir that sings at the 11:00 a.m. traditional service is a congenial group of about 30 singers ranging in age from 17 to 75+. We rehearse on Thursday evenings from 7:30 p.m.to 9:30 p.m. Our repertoire focuses on the traditional Anglican from the sixteenth century (Byrd, Gibbons, Tallis) through Purcell, Greene, Wesley, up to the twentieth century - Stanford, Harris, Britten and the rest. We also sing a great deal of Canadian music, especially the unaccompanied works of Willan, Wm France, W.H. Anderson, etc. Our style of psalmody is mainly Anglican chant and occasionally plainsong, and our congregational hymns come from the new Anglican hymnbook, Common Praise.

If you are interested in joining the Choir or participating by playing a musical instrument, please contact the church office at 905-723-7875.

“Choir Tour”, England, 2007
During the tour, the Choir was the “visiting choir” at Salisbury Cathedral. They also sang at St. Georges Chapel, Windsor, Wells Cathedral, and All Saints, Rington, Somerset.

We hope we can entice our traveling choristers to send us news of their travels for publication on the website. Please contact the church office if you are interested in posting a story.
