The Canadian Chamber Choir is celebrating 25 years of powerful live performance and community-building through choral singing. This August, we’re bringing that celebration to Nova Scotia — the province where it all began, when our founding singers first came together as members of the National Youth Choir of Canada. (And yes — a few of us from that original ensemble will be back on the risers for this tour!) Each setlist will feature choral gems from throughout the Canadian Chamber Choir’s history.
The Canadian Chamber Choir is honoured to be joined on this tour by our dear friend and collaborator, Sherryl Sewepagaham — Cree-Dene musician, composer, and educator — with whom we released the album Where Waters Meet in 2024. At select concerts, we’ll also be joined by local guest soloists who have shared the stage with us during past visits to Nova Scotia, and on previous album releases — a beautiful reminder of the musical friends we’ve made along the way. A special reunion performance featuring additional CCC alumni will take place at the August 13 concert in Wolfville.
While in Nova Scotia, the CCC will also be the featured clinicians at the Nova Scotia Choral Federation’s Junior Choir Camp and Youth Choir Camp, which runs during the month of August.
