Founded in 2002 by Dr. Lisette Canton, the Ottawa Bach Choir offers a wide range of choral music from all historical periods, featuring some of Canada’s top choristers. With the combination of a scholarly and emotional approach, the OBC provides an unforgettable experience of choral music at its best. Now completing its fifteenth season, the professional ensemble has travelled the world and received national and international recognition. Last year, the choir journeyed to China, where it was invited to perform as Canada’s choral representative in the international festival, Meet in Beijing 2016, in Beijing and Shanghai. In 2014, the OBC was the first Canadian choir to perform at the prestigious annual Bach festival in Leipzig, Germany, Bachfest Leipzig 2014.

The OBC recently celebrated the release of its 6th CD, ‘Twas But Pure Love, in honour of the choir’s 15th anniversary. It features ethereal music from the Renaissance to the Contemporary periods from Italy, Spain, England, Germany, Sweden and Canada, with two Canadian recording premieres by Kelly-Marie Murphy and Matthew Larkin.
