Victoria Scholars Men's Choral Ensemble

The Victoria Scholars Men’s Choral Ensemble is an amateur choral group founded in 1993. Named after Tomàs Luis de Victoria – an outstanding composer of the Renaissance period whose music is renowned for its deep spirituality and emotional expressiveness – the Scholars’ music emphasizes the clarity and balance of sound so characteristic of Renaissance music, which the ensemble presents through the unique sonority of male voices. The Victoria Scholars’ repertoire, however, is not limited to the Renaissance. It encompasses medieval plainchant, works from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras, contemporary works in a variety of styles and newly commissioned works. Each year, the Scholars present a 3-concert series in Toronto. They also appear as guests of other performing arts groups in Toronto, and present occasional concerts in other southern Ontario cities (most recently in Barrie, Brantford, Kingston, and Markham). The Scholars have also completed successful tours nationally (Vancouver and Halifax) and internationally (the United States and the Bahamas). Past winners of the Canada Council Healey Willan Grand Prize in the CBC Radio National Competition for Amateur Choirs, the Victoria Scholars have had the pleasure of performing with international vocal soloists Russell Braun, Measha Brueggergosman, Norine Burgess, Richard Margison, Robert Pomakov, Sondra Radvanovsky, Catherine Robbin, Michael Schade, Janice Taylor, James Westman and Monica Whicher.
