“I congratulate Julia Davids and the Canadian Chamber Choir. They sing beautifully and are doing a wonderful job of presenting the choral music of Canadian composers. I’m looking forward to their next concert, and you should, too!”
– Jon Washburn, Vancouver Chamber Choir
“The Canadian chamber choir is a far too well kept secret. The blend and cohesiveness as well as the sheer musicality was at a level that I have not heard for some time. It is an incredible feeling to hear one of my own pieces performed with such purity and integrity.”
– Jeff Enns, Composer
“What a revelation! A truly stunning performance!”
– Eric Robertson, Composer
“The Canadian Chamber Choir clearly understands how to work with singers at the grassroots level, as well as with experienced choristers. Their sensitivity and friendliness made everybody feel comfortable, while their teaching ability provided our singers with expert training. This same musical expertise and sensitivity makes their performances a truly inspiring experience.”
– Tim Callahan-Cross, Executive Director, Nova Scotia Choral Federation
“Let’s call the Canadian Chamber Choir a national treasure. Its 17 members … invest everything they sing with an unheard-of degree of excellence. The ensemble’s clear diction and polished blend were as exemplary as its extraordinary refinements of continual dynamic shading … they also impressed greatly with their flawless intonation.”
– Ilse Zadrozny, Montreal Gazette
“Beyond brilliant … they brought a fiendishly challenging program of mostly Canadian music … I could go on about shivering pianissimos that defied being profaned by applause, phrasing that was fresh and thoughtful and a tone that called for accompaniment by angelic harps … Don’t miss this choir.”
– Hugh Fraser, Hamilton Spectator
“The choir’s sense of collegiality is unlike any I’ve ever encountered, and is matched by their professionalism and prowess as an ensemble. Their passion for the music and for the mission of the choir is evident at all times in rehearsal, performance and educational workshops, and was inspiring to witness as a conductor in the beginning of her career.”
– Kathleen Allan, 2013 Conducting Fellow
