Title
The Tallis Choir of Toronto Online - Choral music from Renaissance to contemporary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Description
The Tallis Choir is a chamber ensemble of 32 voices that has earned a reputation for innovative programming and polished performances. Works from Gregorian Chant to contemporary choral music are represented, but the Choir is best known as one of the few Canadian ensembles specialising in the music of the Renaissance, particularly 16th century Italy and England.
Founded in 1977, the Tallis Choir has presented annual four-concert seasons including a cappella programmes, small chamber ensembles, organ, and on several occasions, one large scale production with works by Haydn and Mozart featuring choir, hired soloists and chamber orchestra.
The choir has made three recordings: Splendours of The High Renaissance, (1983), A Tudor Pageant, (1985), both LPs, and Music of Palestrina & Victoria, available on Cassette and Compact Disc. All have been well received and have aired on the CBC national radio network as well as local stations. In addition, the choir has also been the guest performer on CBC programmes, including “Music Around Us” (1993 and 1994), and was the test choir for “tuning” the Glenn Gould Studio at the CBC Building. Recently, the choir's first two recordings were re-released as a two-CD album.
