The Carleton University Choir

This will be the first season under the baton of Marg Stubington. The Carleton University Choir is one of Ottawa's more advanced choral ensembles. Choir members are drawn from students, faculty and staff of the university and from the Ottawa and Eastern Ontario community. In the fall of 2010, Tunggare: Songs for Christmas featured Mozart's Te Deum, KV. 141, Vaughan Williams's Fantasia on Christmas Carols, as well as works by Carleton University's own Dr. James Wright.. In the spring of 2010, the choir offered Antonín Dvorák's Mass in D and Ralph Vaughan Williams's O Clap Your Hands. In November 2009, the choir presented Cantatas for Advent, a program of three cantatas by J.S Bach with local soloists and members of the Thirteen Strings Chamber Orchestra. In the spring of 2009, Brahms (Zigeunerlieder) and P.D.Q. Bach (Liebeslieder Polkas) were performed. In December 2008, the choir offered Poulenc's Gloria and Saint-Saëns's Christmas Oratorio.

Past performances under the direction of Lisette Canton have included Bach's B Minor Mass, the St Matthew Passion and Magnificat, Mozart's Requiem and Mass in C Minor, Beethoven's Mass in C Major, Duruflé's Requiem, Handel's Dettingen Te Deum and Coronation Anthems, Respighi's Nativitŕ del Signore, and Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms.

In addition to performances in many of the larger churches in the National Capital Region, the Carleton University Choir has also performed at the Corel Centre and at the Chateau Laurier. The choir was featured on CBC Television's Evergreen Wishes in December 2002, and participated in the International Choral Festival at the University of Caen, France in conjunction with the 60th anniversary of D-Day in June, 2004.

A CD recording project was completed in July 2005.
