THE COMPOSER SERIES: transformative choral experiences

At Mount Royal Kantorei, we believe that choral music should be immersive and experiential.

In 2023, and again in 2024, we established and hosted the Kantorei Choral Festival, a 4-day event for choirs and choral directors from all over the world. Featuring masterclasses and clinics, the Festival culminated in a mass choir event with 300 choristers on stage at the Bella Concert Hall.

In April 2025, we took a break from the festival to focus on competing for the Fleishmann International Trophy in Ireland, where we won the PEACE Trophy at the Cork International Choral Festival.

In November 2025, we hosted the inaugural event in our Kantorei Composer Series: Luminous Night of the Soul, with composer Ola Gjeilo and conductor Dr. Irene Messoloras. The event attracted more than 300 choristers from around the world and culminated in a sold-out performance in the Bella Concert Hall.

In 2026, we will be announcing an exciting second event in our Composer Series, which will take place in spring 2027 - watch this space!
