Year 6- 1999/2000 This was the year of the first overseas tour when the Senior Choir travelled to Italy for the Tuscany International Children’s Chorale Festival in Florence. From July 3-11, the choristers combined sightseeing and performing on a packed trip. The Italy trip was the grand finale at the year end, but there was plenty of excitement to precede it. In fall of the 6th the Senior Choir sang “O, Canada” at the Confederation Dinner to an audience which included Jean Chretien, the Prime Minister. At the Christmas concert, retired prima ballerina Veronica Tennant was invited to narrate “Brother Heinrichs Christmas”. On May 6, 2002 the OCC invited the Cantabile Children’s Choir of Kingston and the Oakville Chamber Orchestra as guest artists at a special concert held at the Calvary Baptist Church. On May 11, the achievements of the Oakville Children’s Choir were recognized at the Mayor’s Award for Business and the Arts when Glenda Crawford received the Oakville Arts Council Individual Arts Leadership Award. |
