Scheduled for Good Friday, April 10, 2020

Cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic

Following the recommendations and guidance from public health authorities, Toronto Beach Chorale suspended its 2019/2020 season on March 15, 2020. We hope to resume our performance schedule in the Fall, with another stellar three concert season. If the current situation improves substantially over the coming weeks, we will look at presenting this concert in June.

We thank all of you who have come to our performances this year and supported our choral ensemble. Our Artistic Director, Mervin Fick, and the entire Toronto Beach Chorale will continue to strive for high-calibre concert performances when we return to the concert stage.

“What a fantastic performance of Carmina Burana on Sunday. I loved it! You did an amazing job !!!”

“Had to tell you what an incredible concert you conducted yesterday ! I know Carmina Burana very well, but to see and hear it live, AND watch you conduct it, was an exhilarating experience . The choir, soloists and the percussionists / pianists were all amazing ! Thank you for your dedication.”

“Bravo !!! Brilliant performance ! I have never experienced a live performance of Carmina Burana, and this far exceeded my highest expectations. Thank you. A thrilling performance.”

“We were mesmerized by the Mozart and Beethoven concerts (missed Handel). Wow! We hope to be in the audience for all of them next season. Thanks for the hard work and dedication in producing such wonderful sounds.”

“My friend and I enjoyed so much the concert recently and I think she is now a friend of the TO Beach
Chorale. I look forward to your next season with anticipation.”

“We loved and were moved by the performance. The Toronto Beach Chorale is a wonderful powerful choir. We sat up in the balcony and the sound was amazing. We both enjoyed reading all the information in the catalogue very much too. This is definitely a highlight of the Christmas Season for us. “

“That was sensational. You sounded so great your endings were so precise & the sopranos sounded like one voice. You deserve to be very proud. I think it was one of the best performances of Messiah I’ve heard. Bravo!”

“. . . what a joy to attend the ‘Messiah for the City’ at St. James Cathedral today. Both choirs were magnificent, the venue so beautiful and we came out with joyful and uplifted hearts. Thank you all.”

“The concert this evening was absolutely wonderful. Thanks for a great treat for Easter. The choir really sounded great. . . . couldn’t believe how all those female voices sounded as one voice.….. Bravo to you all. Impressive soloists too.”
