Opus 8 comprises eight of Toronto’s finest ensemble singers, dedicated to musical excellence in the pursuit of sharing the best choral music with the widest audience possible. Their repertoire covers the breadth of history, from unpublished 14th century chansons and 17th century partsongs to 21st century jazz arrangements. From the wild soundworlds of Stockhausen, Schoenberg and Machaut to the elegant compositions of Elgar, Brahms and Bach, this versatile and invigorating small ensemble of choral soloists draws diverse audiences of all ages, both experts and newcomers, with a motivation to inspire all through their formidable artistry. Silly and serious, sublime and audacious, Opus 8’s vision is an ambitious and compelling venture into spreading their love of music-making at an internationally high standard.

They come to Kingston on Friday, September 26 at 7pm to present a concert featuring music from their recent Canadian Sacred Music album, plus some a capella jazz favourites.

Opus8 is directed by Robert Busiakiewicz, Director of Music at St Paul's Bloor Street in Toronto. Learn more about Robert and the choir here
