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.
