Grand Philharmonic Choir Presents
At Centre In The Square
Join the Grand Philharmonic Choir for three extraordinary evenings of choral music in the beautifully resonant concert hall at Centre In The Square.

Beethoven: Missa Solemnis:
Saturday, October 25, 2025 — 7:30 PM
A cry of the human spirit, both heroic and intensely personal.
This magnificent work by Beethoven is not often performed — don’t miss the chance to experience it!
The Grand Philharmonic Choir opens its season with special guests the University of Waterloo Chamber Choir, the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, and soloists, all under the direction of Mark Vuorinen.
Handel’s Messiah
Saturday, December 13, 2025 — 7:30 PM
With its reflective arias and glorious choruses, “Messiah” is a shared ritual of light and renewal at the darkest time of the year.
This timeless seasonal tradition returns to Centre In The Square with the Philharmonic Choir, soloists, and the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. Conducted by Mark Vuorinen, in the unmatched acoustics of the concert hall.
Bach’s Mass in B Minor
Good Friday, April 3, 2026 — 7:30 PM
Find out why the tradition of a Bach masterwork on Good Friday has lasted more than 40 years!
The Mass in B Minor explores the full range of human emotion — from the sparkling joy of “Gloria,” through the sorrow of “Crucifixus,” to the serenity of “Dona Nobis Pacem.”
Featuring the Grand Philharmonic Choir, soloists, and the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, conducted by Mark Vuorinen.
