Choir of St John's, Elora

The Choir of St. John’s, Elora is a celebrated Canadian vocal ensemble rooted in the historic St. John’s Anglican Church in Elora, Ontario. Founded in 1975, the choir has built a sterling reputation for its luminous interpretations of sacred music, blending the rich traditions of Anglican choral repertoire with timeless hymns and contemporary works. Directed for many years by Noel Edison, who also led the Elora Singers and Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, the group is known for its warm, precision-rich sound and collaborations with instrumental ensembles like the Elora Festival Orchestra. Their albums, including recent releases like *Hear My Prayer* and *Faire Is the Heaven*, showcase their ability to balance reverent solemnity with uplifting energy, often recorded in their home church’s acoustically vibrant space. Regular performances at the Elora Festival and tours across Canada have cemented their status as one of the country’s most cherished choral treasures.
