Bach Talk: Bach at the Crossroads A Generational and Aesthetic Conflict. March 29 at 7:30pm Free Zoom seminar. Most generations experience a divide when musical styles shift & change. At the end of his career, Bach was confronted by younger critics about his ‘outdated’ style of composition; in the face of this, Bach retaliated by enlisting friends to write articles in his defense, & by composing some of his most complex & personal pieces. Dr. Charlene Pauls will show you a side of Bach you probably never expected. Register at https://www.canadahelps.org//bach-at-the-crossroads-a-gene

Check out this great interview with our friend George Koller, who recently appeared on our Laudate Dominum recording, and at a Carols concert in 2018.

Here is one of the GCC's seasonal videos for you to enjoy. It’s been nearly a year since we had our last concert, and it’s certainly not how we thought we’d be celebrating our 40th Anniversary Season. We recently launched our 40 in 40 for 40 fundraising campaign, with the goal of raising $40,000 in 40 days for our 40th!

Wonderful picture of the Guelph Chamber Choir! Recognize anyone? Thanks Guelph Civic Museum - see you for our Fourth Friday concert on January 22nd!

This weekend would have been GCC's performance of Handel's "Messiah", and the Messiah Sing-along in support of Family & Children's Services of Guelph and Wellington County. Below are our soloists and conductor Charlene Pauls at last year's event. Funds raised at that event support their Family First Fund. If you are missing hearing & singing the Messiah as much as us, please consider donating to F&CS at https://www.fcsgw.org/

If you missed our Virtual Carol Sing-along last Sunday here's the highlights to help you get into the season! Going live at noon today! GuelphToday.com Guelph Mercury Tribune Guelph Arts Council Visit Guelph Ontario Arts Council - Conseil des arts de l'Ontario https://youtu.be/Xf6fXbvPRtI
