A Toronto Christmas Tradition for 50 years
Massey Hall’s longest-running repeat performers return this year for the 50th anniversary of their beloved Christmas concerts on December 5th and 6th. Hear the choristers of Bond Street as their voices swell in the singing of Christmas favourites old and new, as well as the great choral masterworks of such composers as Palestrina, Bruckner, Schubert and Bach.
Founded in 1937 with the purpose of providing sacred music for services at St. Michael’s Cathedral in downtown Toronto, St. Michael’s Choir School is a centre for musical and academic excellence. Each student admitted to the Choir School is trained in vocal, technical and instrumental music, and sings in at least one of the school’s choirs. The concert features the music of boys from Grade 3 to Grade 12. This year, make St. Michael’s Choir School at Massey Hall a part of your Toronto Christmas tradition.
