Formed in 1972, the Consort presents an annual series of concerts in Toronto, and performs throughout Canada, the United States, Great Britain and Europe. The Toronto Consort undertook one of its most ambitious projects ever when they recreated a Christmas Vespers. The audience response was overwhelming and resulted in two sold-out concerts.
