Artistic Director

The announcement of a new season is always very exciting! Much thought goes into crafting a programme that creates performances unique to the GBC and that will entice our audiences to join in our musical journey.

Over the course of the GBC’s 24-year history, intimacy of venue, precision and clarity of delivery, and innovation have been qualities which continue to set this vibrant group apart from others. It is one of the reasons the intimate concerts in the Piano Hall sell out. Much of the repertoire is also unique to this group, and this truly sets the GBC apart.

In addition to our scheduled concert series, the GBC will be venturing to fields far and wide. On Sunday, October 22nd at 3 pm in Central Presbyterian Church in Hamilton, the GBC will join forces with the Bach Elgar Choir and Master Works of Oakville to do a joint performance of a rarely heard Mass by Widor, scored for 3 choirs and two organs. Each choir will also perform three works individually as part of the programme.

The GBC has also been invited to help celebrate the final performance of Gemma New with the Hamilton Philharmonic, as she continues in her already exciting career as a Music Director. This performance will feature Beethoven’s marvellous 9th Symphony and will take place on Saturday, May 4th, 2024 in the Boris Brott Concert Hall.

I look forward to seeing you again in our audience – Let’s make music together!
