Choral leader continues to shape sound

VERNON, ON — It was 15 years ago that Lydia Adams received a call from the board of directors of one of Canada’s most respected choral groups. Their esteemed leader had fallen ill, and they needed someone to take over the baton in the interim.

Adams, who was living in London, Ont. at the time and was, and still is, the conductor of the 100-plus voice Amadeus Choir, quickly travelled to Toronto to take on the job.  It wasn’t easy at first to step inside the shoes of one of Canada’s most revered choral leaders, but Adams soon found her place.
