Ottawa Children's Choir

Come and welcome this wonderful choir who so generously hosted our own Chamber Choir last year when we visited California.

Thank you for supporting the Ottawa Children’s Choir—every order makes a difference. 🎶

We are grateful for the support of the Ontario Arts Council, which helps make the work of the Ottawa Children’s Choir possible.

At our May 9 Spring Concert, we will also take a moment to recognize provincial arts funding through a program of folk songs that reflect the richness of our local, provincial, and national communities.

Support like this, alongside the commitment of our families, donors, and broader community, allows us to provide high-quality choral training while keeping our programs accessible to children and youth across Ottawa.

In the coming days, we’ll be sharing more about how this support comes together and the many ways our community helps bring OCC to life. 💙

We got to meet Katherine Dines from Ottawa's Move this week thanks to being selected as Myers Automotive Team of the Week. What great fun we had 🙂

Katherine Dines: Thanks to The Ottawa Children’s Choir for teaching me a little vocal warm up! 😂 They’re this week’s Myers Team Of The Week. A non profit organization that has promoted the joy of singing for 67 years. They perform annually at the televised National Remembrance Day ceremony at the Ottawa Cenotaph and routinely perform at the Senate and National Arts Centre. In addition, they often represent Canadian youth at special performances such as Canada Day at Lebreton Flats and the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in France. They collaborate with adult choirs, orchestras and universities, participate in multiple performances including an opera, and host other children's choirs from around the world.
