Best Choir Ottawa Near Me

4worldlovers: We are excitedly entering our 65th anniversary year and want your child to be a part of it. We have places in our treble voices choirs for children from Senior Kindergarten all the way to grade 12. And when, boys' voices start to drop we have a specialized choir for that transition and beyond. Plus, we have removed all financial barriers from joining, thanks to our need based Tuition Scholarships.

General Auditions are being held August 21st, August 23rd, August 24th and September 5th for Viva, Concert and Chamber choirs.

*No audition is needed to join Boys Choir and Prima Choir

4worldlovers: Welcome to our season of celebration, our 60th season! Since 1964 the Cantata Singers have been bringing choral music to our nation’s capital and beyond, with hundreds of concerts, and thousands of works from all over the world. Our three concerts this season celebrate the past, look to the future, and take pride in our music place in Ottawa and Canada.

We start with a complete performance of Rachmaninoff’s Vespers – All-Night Vigil. The Vespers is one of CSO’s signature pieces enjoying seven complete performances under three different conductors and making full use of the exceptional low bass talent Ottawa enjoys. Arctic Soundscapes will explore works inspired by the Arctic including works by several of Canada’s leading composers. Our final season highlight will be a Celebration concert CSO@60, featuring local soloists and orchestra, culminating in a performance of Haydn’s magnificent Nelson Mass, a piece the CSO last performed on our 10th anniversary in 1974!

We all giggle when we hear it …. it’s only one night a week! No question, that one night a week is our foundation, but it takes extra time between rehearsals by each individual to achieve the heights we all strive for. Ours is a sport and like all great athletes, we need to exercise every part of our being - our voices, our vocal instruments and our bodies to build enough stamina to effortlessly sustain us through a performance!

In June, Canadian Showtime Chorus started “walking”” to Louisville! We are banding together in the east and west end of the city and forming walking groups. Some of us are swimming pool lengths and converting our activity into steps and others are cycling their way there! We are split into teams by the season we were born in and recording our steps weekly. We are building stamina, forming, strengthening and growing friendships and motivating one another to get up and move!

Louisville is a mere 1,334 kms away so we’d be there and back many times over already so Nora McEwen, who is blogging our journey for inspirational purposes, has us taking the long route there via Northern Ontario, Québec and even East Coast Canada! It is fun and we are learning about great places in our own backyard to boot!

One duo decided gym workouts were their go to as they both had memberships at Planet Fitness. Carol Dubue and Karina Hébert started meeting at 5:30 am 3 mornings a week – Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This early start was to accommodate work, grand parenting and other commitments!

JD: I saw their daily posts on Facebook and thought they were a wee bit crazy for putting themselves through such a start to their day, but pictures made me giggle and I thought – “why the heck not! I could do this”! So, I went and got myself a membership and joined them 2 weeks into their disciplined adventure! What was I thinking! Day 1 just about did me in – day 2 almost saw me drinking my coffee from a straw for the pain in my forearms and day 3 – well, let’s just say that getting myself out of bed at 4:45 am was not a pretty sight! But I’d made it through week one and I loved the camaraderie, the encouragement from my chums and the gentle – somewhat gentle – push from Carol who is our leader and expertly puts us through our paces. I missed some mornings as I was away camping but I am here to tell you that being away is the only thing that keeps me away from this ritual with Carol and Karina. I am JD Crowe – building stamina, gaining momentum and loving my gym buddies!
