Many alumni remember David Passmore from his "Music at Camp" summers. But how many know of his serious compositional side? Sunday, December 12, 2004 will afford any near enough to Mississauga a chance to hear his Majora Canamus, specially commissioned by the Mississauga Choral Society as a prologue to their performance of Handel's Messiah. We hope David will be there; your presence would surely please him. Plus you get a great Messiah.

David Passmore has composed and arranged music for a variety of performing organizations including the CBC, Music at Sharon, Toronto Dance Theatre, Tapestry Music Theatre (now Tapestry New Opera Works), continuum, the Toronto Woodwinds, Trinity Chamber Ensemble and The Mississauga Choral Society who premiered his work for choir and orchestra On That Day: Visions of the Prophet Isaiah in April, 2001. His works have been performed by the Amadeus Choir, the Iseler Singers, the Vancouver Chamber Choir, and another choral-orchestral work, Seasons of the Spirit, has been performed with the Toronto Symphony under Jacques Israelievitch. His choral music has been published by Jaymar and Gordon V. Thompson.

A graduate of the Master of Music Degree Program at the University of Toronto, he taught in the Theory Department for over a decade, and has been Director of Music at Bloor Street United Church in downtown Toronto since 1989.
