Consider joining MOSAIC today! MOSAIC Canadian Vocal Ensemble directed by Gordon Mansell was formed in 2012 as a touring concert choir in advance of its first performance tour to Italy and the Vatican in 2013. The vocal ensemble rehearses at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in the Etobicoke area of Toronto every Tuesday night. In addition to its concerts and tours, MOSAIC often collaborates with the music program at OLS on special events. However, it is not a church or liturgical choir and is accepting of all beliefs. MOSAIC has a varied contemporary and classical repertoire that mixes Karl Jenkins, Ruth Watson Henderson, Mark Hayes and Stephen Chatman with Palestrina, Mozart, Bach and Fauré. If you are interested in learning more about MOSAIC and want to tour with us, drop the director a note today at gdmansell@sympatico.ca or tweet him @gdmansell.
