Year 11- 2004/05
The second decade began with the news that the Chamber Choir had been selected to perform at the National Convention of the American Choral Directors Association in Los Angeles in February. This was a great honour for the choir and the trip was a huge success.
In January, the Ontario Trillium Foundation announced a major grant of $130,000 over three years help the OCC to develop its fund-raising ability and hire a full-time fund raising manager.
Dinah Christie was the special guest at the Community Carol Sing this year and she read stories selected by author Lawrence Hill from entries submitted to an OCC contest. Box office proceeds from this event went to Oakville Big Sisters Association who sent along a “Little Sisters Choir”
In April the Intermediate choir hosted a very successful Training Choir Festival (their third) with eight guest choirs.
The Senior choir was very busy with activities that included a guest appearance at the Oakville Symphony Orchestra Christmas concert, and workshops in Buffalo and Kitchener. They finished off with three busy days recording the choirs 4th CD.
