Director Pierre Featured in the Ottawa Citizen – 2022 Xmas Concert Reviews
Thanks to Lynn Saxberg, Arts editor of the Ottawa Citizen newspaper for the wonderful interview with Pierre which graced the cover of the Arts section on Saturday Dec 3rd!
This assured a successful Christmas concert season for the choir. Both concerts at Southminster United Church and St. Columba Anglican were packed (with a little space considering the pandemic)
Early reviews of the concerts state unequivocally that the masks did not get in the way of the sound.
What a relief to hear!
Southminster Concert was the perfect start to my Christmas season!
Our first Xmas concert in 3 years was about to happen! I was a bit concerned about the look of the masks with our cheerful Christmassy cloaks, but no worries we were still cute as buttons ( cloak buttons that is) .Looking forward to our final concert of 2022 – this Wednesday at 7:30, St. Columba church 24 Sandridge Rd. Ottawa.

Recording a CD — Cantate Domino — Part 1 – RAIN
Six sessions — that’s all it took.
Six grueling, hours-long, standing in place — awaiting the passage of rain, cars, trucks and airplanes — recording sessions.
