Canadian Men's Chorus
Completing its seventh season, the Canadian Men's Chorus, under the artistic direction of Greg Rainville, is a highly accomplished men’s chamber choir, performing from the classical repertoire and other genres. The Canadian Men's Chorus is noted for its beautiful sound, exciting and varied performances and the ability to take audiences on an emotional journey. This auditioned ensemble presents an annual concert season. Commissioning new Canadian music is a major focus, with over 40 new choral works premiered since the CMC was co-founded in 2010 by Greg Rainville and Arlene Jillard. Regional concerts include Stratford Summer Music, CentreSpace for the Arts in London, ON, the Stratford Symphony Orchestra and Gravenhurst and Lindsay. For more information, please visit our website.

Celebrating its 50th season, the CCOC consists of six choruses for ages 3 to 19 and is the only permanent children’s opera company in Canada to regularly commission and produce operas for children. Opera is simply storytelling with music, and those are two things that kids and youth love! A unique experience, members receive 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. Auditions are held April to June. A non-auditioned in- and after-school workshop program was launched in 2008 as part of the OPERAtion KIDS outreach arm of the CCOC.
