This Homecoming concert marks our joy at reconnecting with our audience, just in time to celebrate two important anniversaries: the 35th anniversary of the Chœur classique de l'Outaouais (CCO) and the 10th anniversary of Tiphaine Legrand at the helm of the Chœur.

For the occasion, the program unfolds in a necklace of favorites drawn from our repertoire of the past 10 years. It will include music from the Renaissance, Tomas Luis de Victoria, the great master Bach, the French baroque of Charpentier and of the Jesuit Missions of Bolivia, Russian and Spanish songs, not to mention contemporary compositions created for the CCO by Frédéric Lacroix, Claude-Marie Landré and Glenn McClure.

Tiphaine is a passionate teacher of choral music and works with singers of all ages and in many musical styles. As the artistic director of Ensemble Kô from 2006 to 2013, Tiphaine explored in particular the links between early music and that of contemporary Québécois composers.
