The Ottawa Bach Choir (OBC) would like to welcome you to its eighteenth season of magnificent choral music. Over the past seventeen years, the professional ensemble has travelled the world and received national and international recognition. This season, the choir has been invited to return to the world’s most prestigious international Bach festival, Bachfest Leipzig 2020, as one of a select number of ensembles worldwide (and the only Canadian ensemble) to present the entire chorale cantata cycle of Bach. Last season, the choir released its seventh CD, Handel, Bach & Schütz, on the ATMA Classique label to rave reviews (“…this new one is among the very best,” American Record Guide 2019), and in 2016 the choir toured in China, where it was invited to perform as Canada’s choral representative in the prestigious Meet in Beijing festival. The choir has also performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City, across Canada, in Mexico, and in Europe in Germany, England, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and more.
