Description

As Founder and Artistic Director, I am delighted to invite you to the Ottawa Bach Choir’s 22nd season of magnificent choral music! The professional ensemble has travelled the world, received national and international recognition, and also won a 2020 JUNO award for Best Classical Album of the Year: Vocal or Choral, for its album Handel: Dixit Dominus, Bach & Schütz: Motets! The choir has just released its 8th album, Johann Sebastian Bach: Six Motets, on the ATMA Classique label, and returned from Bachfest Leipzig 2022 last June, the choir’s second invitation to the prestigious festival. This season, the OBC presents three concerts, including Magnificat with settings by Bach, Zelenka, Biber and Leonarda; The Maestro of San Marco, featuring sacred and profane works by Claudio Monteverdi; and Leipzig 1723, highlighting German baroque cantatas by Telemann, Graupner and Bach, who were candidates for the position of Thomaskantor in Leipzig. The choir also includes a few special events during the season.

Come share our passion and discover the best that choral music has to offer!

Lisette Canton, Founder and Artistic Director
