“A Children’s choir breathes life into the musical soul of a city. Without children there would be no future. Without choirs, how could we give voices to our souls? The Toronto Children’s Chorus symbolizes the gifts of life, soul and music. Long may it shine in Toronto and beyond.” — John Rutter , Composer and Conductor
