We rehearse from September to June on Tuesday evenings at Edithvale Community Centre on Finch Ave West and have performed 8 concerts per season for seniors in the GTA for over 50 years. Directed by our talented team of Peter Ness as conductor and Asher Farber on keyboard, the choir requires no auditions - just a love of singing and the ability to carry a tune! All are welcome at our annual public concert on Sunday, June 2, 2019 at 2-3pm at B’nai Torah Synagogue, 465 Patricia Ave. in Toronto.

Canadian Children s Opera CompanyNow over 50 years old, the CCOC consists of six choruses for ages 3-19 and is the only permanent children’s opera company in Canada to regularly commission and produce operas for children.

A unique experience, the CCOC offers members unparalleled performance opportunities and life skills through age-appropriate vocal and dramatic training. Members regularly perform with the Canadian Opera Company and other major professional arts organizations. Rehearsals are weekdays after school in the downtown area.
