BIOGRAPHIES
NOEL
EDISON Artistic Director
& Conductor
Noel Edison is well established as one of
the most versatile and charismatic conductors
in the world today. As Artistic Director and
Conductor of two world-class Canadian
ensembles, the large-scale Toronto
Mendelssohn Choir and the chamber-sized
Elora Festival Singers, Noel is widely
recognized and appreciated for his skillful,
interpretive work with both choir and
orchestra.
The 2010-11 season marks Noel Edison’s
14th season as Artistic Director and
Conductor of the Toronto Mendelssohn
Choir. His vision for the TMC is to create
performances that connect audiences
emotionally with some of the greatest
traditional and contemporary choral
repertoire.
A native of Toronto, Noel moved to the
scenic village of Elora, where, in 1979, he
co-founded the Elora Festival and, a year
later, the Elora Festival Singers as its choir-
in-residence. Since 1984, Noel has served as
Artistic Director of the Elora Festival as well
as Organist and Choirmaster of one of the
few all-professional church choirs in Canada
at the Church of St. John the Evangelist in
Elora. In 1997 the Elora Festival Singers
were selected as the professional core of the
Toronto Mendelssohn Choir.
In 2002 the University of Guelph
conferred upon Noel Edison the Honorary
Degree of Doctor of Music and on January
22, 2009 he was appointed to the Order of
Ontario, the Province’s highest honour.
MICHAEL
BLOSS Organ
Michael Bloss leads an enviable musical
life as a performer, educator and conductor.
He has toured and performed at venues in
Europe, Japan, and throughout North
America. His US appearances include
acclaimed recitals at the Cadet Chapel,
West Point, the Cleveland Museum of Art,
St. Paul’s Cathedral, Detroit as well as
return engagements at Chicago’s Fourth
Presbyterian Church. Among a number of
firsts for a Canadian was the designation of
Preisträger at the International Bach
Competition in Leipzig, Germany playing
in Bach’s own church.
Michael performs and has recorded with
the Elora Festival Singers, an ensemble with
whom he was a Juno nominee. He has also
collaborated with the Toronto Symphony
Orchestra, including a recent appearance
playing Janacek’s Glagolitic Mass, and has
also premiered such contemporary works as
the North American premiere of Rufus
Wainright’s Prima Dona at Toronto’s
Luminato Festival. Michael has been
featured on CBC Radio and Television,
NPR and Swiss Radio. He continues as a
collaborative musician with vocalists and
instrumentalists.
A respected church musician and choral
conductor, Michael has enjoyed a long and
distinguished career of music ministry and
currently serves as Director of Music at
Glenview Presbyterian Church in Toronto.

TORONTO MENDELSSOHN CHOIR
The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir (TMC) is
Canada's world-renowned large vocal
ensemble. With over 150 voices, the TMC is
uniquely able to perform the great symphonic
choral works the way they were intended –
resulting in a pure, powerful musical
experience.
TMC audiences enjoy choral masterpieces
drawn from five centuries, including world
premieres of new compositions and some
rarely heard works. In addition to the
traditional concert season, the TMC appears
regularly with the Toronto Symphony
Orchestra (TSO) and makes other guest
appearances.
The TMC presented its first concert as part
of Massey Hall’s inaugural season in 1895.
Since its inception, the TMC has flourished
under the leadership of seven of Canada’s
pre-eminent conductors, most recently Noel
Edison. Under his tenure, the Choir has won
widespread praise from audiences and critics
for its performances in Toronto, New York,
Vienna, Salzburg and most recently in
Vancouver during the 2010 Cultural
Olympiad.
Twenty members of the Elora Festival
Singers, founded and directed by Noel
Edison, form the professional core of the
Toronto Mendelssohn Choir and the
Mendelssohn Singers. The 70-voice
Mendelssohn Singers, formed from the ranks
of the TMC, made its debut in April 2003
with a critically acclaimed performance of
Bach’s Mass in B minor. The Mendelssohn
Singers has appeared with the TSO and other
ensembles, and, in February 2007, performed
in New York’s Carnegie Hall. Its vocal
agility and emotional versatility make it an
ideal ensemble for Baroque and
contemporary choral repertoire.
The TMC choral apprenticeship program
was created in 2009 to support the
development of young choristers. Through
the program, experienced choristers between
the ages of 17 and 22 join the choir as
apprentice choristers for certain
performances. Their participation is
supported by a bursary and they also receive
voice coaching and mentoring.
The TMC has been recorded many times
since its debut recording in 1926. In 1986 the
Choir was featured on EMI/Angel’s much-
heralded recording of Handel’s Messiah. In
1993, the choir recorded part of the
soundtrack for the Academy Award-winning
film Schindler’s List under the direction of
composer John Williams, and for the Naxos
Label, the Berlioz Requiem, conducted by
Noel Edison. A Festival of Carols, the
choir’s latest recording of Christmas music,
was released to great acclaim in December
2006.
The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir is
generously supported by the Canada Council
for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, the
Toronto Arts Council, and a dedicated group
of individual and corporate donors.
