Celebrating its 35th anniversary, Toronto Mass Choir is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of its highly anticipated album, “Hymns Alive,” scheduled to hit the streaming services on May 4, 2024. This dynamic 14-track live album promises to breathe new life into long-established hymns with fresh arrangements spanning various musical genres, from reggae and jazz to traditional and contemporary gospel.

The journey towards the album release has been marked by the successful debut of two singles: “O That Will Be Glory,” released on February 23, and “Satisfied,” released on April 12. These singles have set the stage for what listeners can expect to hear, an unforgettable musical experience captured in the new album.

Led by the renowned Toronto Mass Choir, the album features exceptional solo performances by Patricia Shirley, Londa Larmond, Renee Rowe, Nicole Sinclair Anderson, and Kerroy Williams – all special guest artists who contributed their unique talents to the recording process.

To celebrate the album’s launch, the Toronto Mass Choir invites fans and music enthusiasts alike to an exciting album release concert on Saturday, May 4, 2024. The concert will take place at Malvern Christmas Assembly in Scarborough, starting at 7:30 PM.

“We’re incredibly excited to finally share ‘Hymns Alive’ with our audience,” says Artistic Director Karen Burke. “This album is a celebration of the rich tradition of hymns, infused with the vibrancy of contemporary musical styles that only the Toronto Mass Choir can bring. We can’t wait for everyone to experience it live at our album release concert.”
