Children’s Concert Choir
The Children's Concert Choir, CSMA’s flagship ensemble, was formed as a school district honour choir in 1975, Donna Otto assumed direction in 1988.
The choristers are children with unchanged voices who are auditioned in the Greater Vancouver area. This ensemble performs many times during the year for community and corporate events, local and international conferences, as a demonstration choir for music educators, and in festivals in Canada and internationally.
This award-winning choir has been the “children's choir in residence” at Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam since September 2001.
