In its 35th season, The Canadian Children's Opera Chorus consists of five choruses (Main Chorus, Youth Chorus, Apprentice Choruses I and II, and the Ruby Chorus) for young people aged 5 through 19.
The CCOC is the only permanent children's opera chorus in Canada to regularly commission and produce operas for children. The program prepares young people for the complex, vibrant world of opera, while offering excellent musical and dramatic training. Members of the chorus often join productions of the Canadian Opera Company.
For rehearsal times and locations, and tuition fee details, please check the CCOC web site.
Artistic Director Ann Cooper Gay directs the Main Chorus (10 to 16 year olds), the Youth Chorus (14 to 19 year olds) and the Apprentice Chorus II (9 to 11 year olds). Claire Preston directs the Apprentice Chorus I (7 to 9 year olds) and Bronwen Low directs the Ruby Chorus (5 to 7 year olds.)
