Joining some of Canada’s most accomplished artists and top choristers from the National Capital region and beyond, the Ottawa Bach Choir has received national and international recognition.

The Ottawa Bach Choir presents works by three of the most important composers of the German Baroque period Handel (Dixit Dominus with the participation of countertenor Daniel Taylor), along with motets by Schütz and Bach. While the three composers remained faithful to their German roots, the works presented here also feature influences from the Italian Baroque, including the use of drama, expression, intensity, rhythmic fervor, harmonic invention and word painting, as well as polychoral techniques.
