Pax Christi Chorale

Established in 2009, the Pax Christi Youth Choir is the only youth choir in Toronto performing both choral masterworks with orchestra  and intimate chamber repertoire.
The choir comprises youth between the ages of 13 and 21 and is led by well-known and highly respected music educator Lynn Janes, current Head of Music at Havergal College, former conductor of the Toronto Mendelssohn Youth Choir (TMYC), and music teacher at Earl Haig Secondary School. The Youth Choir rehearses on Monday nights, and performs both with the full Pax Christi Chorale and on their own in several concerts during the season.

A Message from Artistic Director Stephanie Martin -

Dear Pax Christi Supporters,

It is my delight to invite you to celebrate our 25th anniversary season!

We’ve been performing masterworks of the oratorio repertoire for a quarter century, and this season we explore rarely heard works of genius. We showcase Antonio Salieri, the gifted mentor of a generation of classical composers. Our Christmas concert highlights Benjamin Britten’s quirky cantata Saint Nicolas. I am also pleased to premiere a piece of my own.

To crown the season, we perform Elgar’s The Kingdom, acknowledged by the great English conductor Sir Adrian Boult as Elgar’s choral masterpiece. We are so proud to bring British baritone sensation Roderick Williams to sing his Canadian debut in the role of St. Peter.

With stellar soloists, engaging repertoire and a choir that sings from the heart, this season promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime journey. I invite you to join us as a fellow traveller and attend our concerts. Your support is greatly appreciated!

See you at the concerts!

Stephanie Martin
Artistic Director
