A Choir'd Taste
Where Instrumentalists Sing!
Our Story
A Choir'd Taste (originally Acquired Taste) is a Toronto-based choir founded in 2017 by Rory McLeod and Emily Rho, who envisioned a choir where highly trained musicians could explore their musicianship in a new way, discovering the joy of singing in a judgement-free environment.

Our director, tenor Mitchell Pady, is a member of the Iseler Singers and conducts several choirs. Rehearsals include in-depth instruction in choral vocal technique.
