The Grand Philharmonic Choir is a large classical music choir based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. The choir sings regularly with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony at the Centre in the Square. The choir's artistic director is Mark Vuorinen. == History == The choir was founded in 1883 as the Berlin (Ontario) Philharmonic and Orchestral Society. In 1922, after a hiatus, the choir re-organized itself and changed its name to the Kitchener Waterloo Philharmonic Choir, since the city of Berlin, Ontario had changed its name to Kitchener during World War I. In 2006, the choir changed its name again, to the Grand Philharmonic Choir. In 1972, Howard Dyck became the Artistic Director of the choir, and led the organization for 38 years; upon his retirement, he was named Artistic Director Emeritus. The choir's current conductor is Mark Vuorinen, who is a doctoral candidate at the University of Toronto doing research on the music of the Estonian composers Arvo Pärt and Veljo Tormis. A wide variety of internationally-renowned soloists have sung with the choir over the years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grand Philharmonic Choir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
