This fall, Musica Orbium is starting its 20th season.
Founded by Patrick Wedd in 1992, the ensemble’s mission
is to present a distinct and diverse choral repertoire to an
audience interested in more than traditional programming.
From Renaissance to Jazz, Orbium has covered a wide
variety of musical eras and genres over the past 19 years.
Musica Orbium produces its own concerts twice a year in
the Montreal region, and is regularly invited to perform
with local orchestras and organizations. Musica Orbium
has participated in CBC’s Easter Sunrise Celebration as
well as in concerts with the McGill Chamber Orchestra.
The choir has been heard frequently on CBC radio, both
locally and nationally.
Although Musica Orbium is recognized especially for
its a cappella repertoire, the choir also gives concerts with
different instrumental ensembles. The choir has approximately
55 singers.
