2025/2026 SEASON
2026/2027 SEASON
Triumphant, nostalgic, spiritual and sentimental – this season of concerts spans a vast array of wonderful musical expression.
It’s hard to believe that Handel wrote his epic Messiah in only 21 days in 1741. His musical journey is one that millions have grown to love and have become an annual tradition for so many. Great tunes, great dance like rhythms and a resounding Hallelujah – Amen!
Christmas is principally about looking back to those yesteryears and remembering and hearing those carols you grew up with and other seasonal memories. Old, new, rearranged, twigged, reflective and humorous – Tidings of Comfort and Joy.
Over the week leading up to Good Friday, we will perform several concerts of Palestrina's Missa Assumpta est Maria & Missa Papae Marcelli. Except for some secular madrigals, Palestrina's entire art was devoted to the Church. Palestrina’s music is so beautiful and so clear, unlike the compositions of many of his predecessors. The polyphony of Palestrina really does enhance the text of the Mass, deepening the experience of the listener.
I hope something in this season will pique your interest. I would love to see you.

A MAGICAL EVENING!
Thank you both for the first and extraordinary breath of Christmas to come!
That was an absolutely magical evening, one neither Ben nor I shall ever forget. The Edison singers are truly a gift, choral music of a grace and reach that we don't generally hear in Canada. The performance took us all back to our childhoods, our grounding, our foundations, and the essence of who we are.
It is so perfect to have exceptional artistry opening the door for Christmas celebration."
Feedback from an attendee
Noel Edison is one of the most inspiring choral conductors I have been privileged to work with. He manages to elicit gorgeous sounds and profoundly intelligent music-making from his singers. It is a great joy to know that Noel is at last forming his own ensemble. I can't wait to hear it!

I have known Noel Edison since I was a child singing in the same church choir. Through the years, I have seen him build his choirs into a musical powerhouse of high level technical accomplishment balanced by an astonishingly sensitive music making. In Noel's hands, the choir becomes an instrument of ravishing beauty. I am
very happy to see Noel back on the scene and I wish him all the best in his new venture. The musical world will be better for it.
