Bach Children's Chorus


The Bach Children's Chorus is a "Company in Residence" at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. With conductor Linda Beaupré and accompanist Eleanor Daley, the choir is known throughout Toronto and across Canada for its musical sound and professional approach.
The Choir has five solo recordings, performs in concerts and other events around Toronto, and tours frequently. The organization has longstanding ties to the Amadeus Choir and its conductor Lydia Adams and has been active since 1987 in the musical life of the city of Toronto.
For over 20 years, I have had the privilege to be associated with the Bach Children's choir(s) and last night, I attended their spring concert. It has been a privilege to see the choir grow from one small choir formed in 1987 to perform at a concert with the Amadeus Choir. From that start, 4 choirs have been created and they perform twice a year at the Toronto Centre for the Arts as well as many other locations.
It is wonderful to be associated with musicians who give so freely to develop the talents of young people. Linda Beaupre has been inspiration and the fact that many teacher have enrolled their children in the group speaks highly of what Linda has done.
I hope that everyone can find the time to support these groups wherever they are. What a wonderful life long creative out let and opportunity.
