The Upper Canada Children's Chorus was founded in the fall of 1999 under the Artistic Direction of Brian Rawlins. Over the past 12 seasons UCC has grown to become a world-class choral institution. Over 400 potential choristers auditioned for the current season, and over 130 singers ranging in age from 6 to 18 currently participate. UCC ensembles have toured through the United States and Canada, including Chicago, Boston, Martha's Vineyard, New York, Montreal and Quebec, as well as international destinations including England, Ireland and Italy where they performed at the Vatican.
Choir Programs
First Chirp - JK & SK (ages 3-5)
"First Chirp" is a dynamic exploration of music for pre-school children (ages 3-5) and an accompanying parent (or arranged substitute). Experience the joy of music as we discover and create music together.
