TORONTO– August 5, 2010-- Under the direction of Stephanie Martin, Pax Christi Chorale is one of Canada’s leading oratorio choirs, praised by our guest soloists, musicians and audience members alike for the choir’s sincere and passionate performances.  In 2009, we welcomed the Pax Christi Youth Choir to our ‘family of choirs’, led by Lynn Janes.  These exceptional young choristers have enriched our musical experience and that of our audience and we look forward to our second season together!  Stephanie Martin will be on leave during the 2010-2011 season, and in her absence, we will be joined by a stellar line-up of guest conductors.
