The mission of the DaCapo Chamber Choir is to identify, study, rehearse, and present in public performance and recordings, the outstanding choral chamber works of the past 100 years and to champion music of Canadian and local composers.
Our performance season consists of three annual concerts in Kitchener-Waterloo: once in the fall around Remembrance Day, a mid-winter, and a spring concert. In addition, the choir performs on an ad hoc basis at other events.
We have worked with numerous choral groups, musicians, and composers since our inaugural season, including the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, Elora Festival Singers, Kingston Cantabile Choirs, Guelph Chamber Choir, Penderecki Quartet, Lachan Chamber Choir, Willem Moolenbeek, Eric Friesen, Bruce Dow, and Eric Whitacre, to name just a few.
DaCapo was awarded first place in the Contemporary Choral Music category of the 2011 National Competition for Canadian Amateur Choirs. The choir also received 2nd place in the 2011 Chamber Choir category. Also in 2011, DaCapo’s second recording, ShadowLand, received the 2010 National Choral Recording Award from the Association of Canadian Choral Communities. less
