Current Information
Over 40 years of singing!
Coro Vivo Ottawa rehearses at Orleans United Church in Orleans on Tuesday night from 7pm – 9:30pm.
Last season we were pleased to present two very intersting concerts. At Christmas we presented A Child is Born which featured many of our own in small groups and solos. We were very pleased to present an Indigenous-inspired concert in the spring with a children’s choir, a wonderful soloist and a string and percussion ensemble.
This season we are excited to have grown and added many wonderful singers. The music that you will hear at Christmas and in the Spring will be sure to create some core memories for us and for our audiences.
We look forward to seeing you.
Cheers!
More About Us
Coro Vivo Ottawa (CVO) is a community choir with a membership of approximately 50 members drawn from across the National Capital Region. Formerly Blackburn Chorus, CVO was founded over 40 years ago and has evolved from a small group of amateur singers to becoming a well-respected concert choir in the area. CVO sings a wide range of music, from classical works to Broadway tunes. We perform repertoire in various languages including English, French, Spanish and German. We encourage the professional development of local musicians by including them in our concerts as guest artists.
Our concerts endeavour to have our members and our audience discover a wide range of musical experiences.
CVO also values community outreach. Each year we perform for seniors’ homes and other community groups. For many years we donated to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) for which we raised over $73,000.00. We continue to strive to donate to local charities. Our grand piano finds its home at Orleans United Church and is enjoyed by many community groups.
