"a national choir celebrating and promoting Canadian music and musicians"
The CCC was thrilled to return to Southern Ontario in January after five years away. With well-attended concerts in London, Oakville, Waterloo, and Elmira as well as a number of workshops, the tour itinerary was busy and the music-making was glorious! Of particular note was the world premiere of a large-scale commissioned work by Toronto composer, Erik Ross. A setting of a poem by Lorna Crozier, this imaginative, evocative work was lauded by audiences. We look forward to sharing it with more audiences across Canada!
In partnership with the Nova Scotia Choral Federation, the CCC will be touring Nova Scotia from October 27 to November 3, 2012 with concerts and workshops in Wolfville, Truro, Tantallon, Antigonish, and Halifax.

Dr. Julia Davids and colleague Stephen A. LaTour's acclaimed new book Vocal Technique - A Guide for Conductors, Teachers, and Singers has been released and can be purchased through all major book sellers in Canada and the USA. We suggest you order a copy from our good friends at Music Plus Corporation! Here's what critics are saying about this ground-breaking publication:
"Resonance strategies, choir positioning, cambiata voices, hypothyroidism, vibrato—all in one book! The authors raise contemporary issues as well as never-mentioned ones. This resource bonanza will be voraciously appreciated."- Darryl Edwards, University of Toronto
A roster of CCC singers found themselves in residence at Mennonite
Collegiate Institute in peaceful and beautiful Gretna, Manitoba in
August of 2009. After 8 years of labouring with love, the CCC
organization has realized its dream of recording an all-Canadian CD.
The recording features special guests, mezzo-soprano
Christianne Rushton of Nova Scotia and talented cellist, Se Hee
Kim.
The recording is a breath-taking one with pieces by
Canadian composers including: Allan Rae; Jocelyn Morlock; Lionel
Daunais; Jeffrey Ryan; as well as the CCC's recently commissioned
piece "At Sunset" by beloved CCC Composer-in-Residence, Jeff Enns
of Elmira, Ontario...the repertoire is truly a treasure chest of
Canadian jewels. We are
In Good Company'. More information about 'In Good Company' can be found here.
