Founder’s Day Concert
Msgr. John Edward Ronan was larger than life. He was an imposing ram-rod-straight physical specimen six feet in height, broad-shouldered, and heavy set with a luxuriant, snowy mane. . . He commanded the absolute respect and obedience of all – from the youngest student to the most senior staff member – including his co-founders. He was THE BOSS in no uncertain terms. And yet we all loved him dearly and would do anything for him. Peter Daly, SMCS ’57

Every year, the St. Michael’s Choir School community comes together in mid-October to celebrate Founder’s Day, honouring the life and work of Choir School founder Msgr. John Edward Ronan. Normally taking place in St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica, this annual concert opens the concert season and often features the works of the founder and various alumni and teachers from across the school’s history.
As the first major concert of the year, this is normally the first Choir School concert for new students, especially those in Grades 3 and 4.

As the school year draws to a close, the Choir School family comes together to celebrate in song with this annual concert at St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica. Performing repertoire last sung on tour, the entire student body fills the Cathedral with their voices.
