“Join the OBC for a concert celebrating the coming of spring with some of the best madrigals and chansons of the Renaissance period paired with Haydn’s rarely heard part-songs,” says Founder and Artistic Director, Lisette Canton. “We invite you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the season with this magnificent music.”
The Ottawa Bach Choir was founded in 2002 by Dr. Lisette Canton and 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.
The Ottawa Bach Choir has toured extensively in Canada, the United States, and Europe. The OBC recently returned from a two-week tour of Venice, Leipzig, Lübeck, Groningen, and Amsterdam. The OBC had the honour of being the first Canadian choir ever to be among the performers in the world’s most prestigious international Bach festival, the Bachfest Leipzig. The choir will participate this June in a performance of Schafer’s Apocalypsis in the Luminato Festival in Toronto.
