Ottawa Bach Choir

The JUNO Award winning Ottawa Bach Choir (OBC), founded in 2002 by Dr. Lisette Canton, offers audiences a wide range of choral music of the finest quality, performing music from all historical periods while keeping Bach’s choral oeuvre as the focus of its repertoire. Through a combination of both a scholarly and emotional approach to choral music, the professional chamber ensemble expands all aspects of the artistic spectrum. Joining some of Canada’s most accomplished artists and top choristers from the National Capital region and beyond, the choir has received national and international recognition.

Now entering its 23rd season, the OBC performs a large subscription concert series in Ottawa and travels extensively in Canada and abroad. The choir has performed at Bachfest Leipzig, in London, Paris, Venice, Amsterdam, Bayreuth, Stuttgart, Prague, Vienna, Beijing and Shanghai, at Carnegie Hall in New York City, the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, and numerous cities and festivals across Canada. The choir also engages in an educational outreach program each season and has performed in over 55 schools in the Ottawa-Carleton region.
