May 29 - The Larkin Singers, chamber choir, was founded in 2008. Founded and directed by brilliant Canadian conductor and organist Matthew Larkin, the singers in this 16-voice professional choral ensemble hail from Toronto and Ottawa and perform regularly as choristers and soloists in Canada and abroad. Choral concerts are especially riveting in the magical setting of the Sharon Temple. The Larkin Singers will perform a wide-ranging program of a cappella choral works, stretching from the Renaissance era to the present day.

Sharon Temple is a beautiful National Historic Site located just north of Newmarket. An intimate 230-seat venue, the Sharon Temple is renowned for its acoustics, architectural ambience, and the serene beauty of the surroundings.
