Members' Corner

The Arnprior Community Choir has always had a goal of providing entertainment throughout the local area through presentations of a variety of music to organizations and groups; hiring young emerging soloists originally from the Ottawa Valley who are developing their musical careers; and providing choral music that both challenges and entertains its membership in an enthusiastic and uplifting rehearsal. In these uncertain times, we are using the temporary pause in choral gatherings to plan our exciting 30th season. We look forward to welcoming our performers and community when we return in song!
Lisa Webber, Music Director About the Arnprior Community Choir A little history . . . The Arnprior Community Choir (ACC) was first established in 1991 as a course within the night school Continuing Education program at the Arnprior District High School. This support allowed the community choir to create a “home” in which to develop and flourish as a musical ensemble. Founded by the current musical director, Lisa Webber, the choir quickly grew to become a mainstay in the cultural arts community scene. For the full story of this amazing choir, see "The little choir that grew . . . the story of the Arnprior Community Choir" under PHOTO GALLERY: ACC AT WORK above. Today's ACC . . . The size of the Arnprior Community Choir varies from 65 to 95 members, both men and women, with ages ranging from 14 to 83! New members are always welcome -- whether Soprano, Alto, Tenor, or Bass. You are not required to audition, and no previous experience is needed. Although it would be great if you can read music, it’s not essential. What we most look for from our members is a love of singing and a commitment to attend each rehearsal session and concert. |
