The past few years have seen an interruption in Opus 8’s regular concert programming. However, we have continued to work on small projects - a new pop-single collaboration here, a touring collaboration with Femmes du Feu dance ensemble there. As a small ensemble, Opus 8 is able to be fluid and flexible, and we are currently making plans for the coming year, which will include work on a recording of unrecorded works by Canadian composers, as well as some new concert programs. We are exploring ideas for new small projects.

To start with, we have a summer concert coming up fast - Sunday, August 6th, at 4pm, we’ll be performing in the Toronto Music Garden, as part of the Summer Music in the Garden series. This is a free, outdoor concert - keep your fingers crossed that the forecast of “mostly sunny” holds!

In 2022 we said goodbye to counter tenor Simon Honeyman, and bass David Roth, and we welcomed alto Veronika Annisimova and bass Martin Gomes.

Since our founding, Opus 8 has partnered with charitable organisations, and for this reason we are able to provide charitable tax receipts to our supporters even though we do not ourselves have charitable status. We are proud to announce that we are presenting our concert activities in partnership with Chamber Factory. Head over to our Donate page to find out how you can make a financial contribution to support the life of Opus 8, whether you need a tax receipt or not.

And don’t forget - you can listen to us anytime. Head to our Listen page to learn more.

That’s it for now! Happy summer - we hope to see you soon.
