Canadian Children’s Opera Chorus 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES   Now in its 40th anniversary season, the Canadian Children’s Opera Chorus remains one of the world’s few permanent children’s opera choruses. The CCOC commissions, produces, records and tours new operas and choral music, with children as both the principal performers and main audience. The chorus regularly collaborates with other leading arts organizations and prominent individual performers, conductors and directors.   The 2007-08 season features the March premiere of the CCOC-commissioned opera, Dragon in the Rocks, by Marie Day and Alexander Rapoport, based on the book Dragon in the Rocks by Marie Day. The show will also be presented to Toronto area schools, followed by a planned tour to Northern Ontario.     Other highlights include the Winter Concert, “The CCOC Goes Ruby” at Glenn Gould Studio on Dec 8 and the annual Spring Concerts at the end of May.  The chorus also has guest appearances with the Canadian Opera Company, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Hannaford Street Silver Band, Toronto Philharmonia, and Soundstreams Canada.    Auditions for 2008/09 take place throughout May and June 2008. Application forms are available on the website.   Ann Cooper Gay, artistic director 416-366-0467 info@canadianchildrensopera.com  www.canadianchildrensopera.com
