Bach Children’s Chorus & Bach Chamber Youth Choir

2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES
 

BCC consists of 160 auditioned singers in choirs at differing levels of ability - three treble choirs for children aged 6-16 and an SATB choir for boys with changed voices and girls aged 16 and up. Each choir rehearses weekly in east Scarborough and participates in weekend excursions involving festivals, workshops and concerts with other youth choirs and world-renowned clinicians. Educational programmes for all treble choirs emphasize vocal technique, theory and music reading. The BCC is a company-in-residence at the Toronto Centre for the Arts and holds two concerts there annually.
 
The choir has released four solo CDs and has won several provincial and national choral awards, including the prestigious CBC Competition for Amateur Choirs (2004) and The Elmer Iseler Award for Best Choir at the Toronto Kiwanis Festival. Founder and music director Linda Beaupré is well-known throughout Toronto as a guest conductor and clinician and is a winner of the Leslie Bell award for conducting.
