An auditioned chamber choir of about 30 men and women, the Jubilate Singers began in 1969 as an offshoot of the North York Community Singers. We perform music from a wide range of choral styles and periods from medieval to contemporary Canadian, sacred to folk, European to African. Since 2001, we've been enjoying the direction of our gifted music director and conductor, Catalan-born Isabel Bernaus. We are delighted to welcome Caroline Spearing as our conductor for the 2009 - 2011 seasons while Isabel is on maternity leave. Sherry Squires has been our talented piano accompanist for more than twenty years now.

Reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of Toronto, we sing in many languages in addition to English and French, including Catalan, Finnish, German, Latin, Polish, Russian, Spanish and even Beothuk (the language of the exterminated Newfoundland native tribe). For a better idea of our repertoire, see Past Programs.

Every year, we present a subscription series of three concerts. In addition to our concert series, we perform at community events across Toronto. Our rehearsals are held Tuesday evenings from September through June at St. Leonard's Anglican Church (two blocks north of the Lawrence subway station, just steps east of Yonge Street).
