Founded by Patrick Wedd in 1992, Musica Orbium’s mission is to present 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 seventeen 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 40 singers.
