Boys choir to sing alongside renowned baritone Braun A Canadian worldrenowned baritone will join the boys choir of the Oakville Children's Choir (OCC) on stage when it performs Saturday, April 17.

The concert will also feature performances by St. Michael's Choir School, Amabile Boys Choir, Gaudeamus Boys Choir and the Mississauga Children's Boy Choir. Matthew Larkin will be guest conductor. "This is a tremendous opportunity for the Oakville Children's Choir Boys Choir and for all the boys participating in the festival," said Janet Stachow, OCC associate music director, in a press release. "To perform alongside such a world-renowned baritone will be something they'll never forget. The experience might inspire our choristers to continue with their music and pursue a musical career." The choir will perform the songs Ancient Words and Carol of the Ladder with Braun. Other pieces in the concert will include Lone Dog and Where You Walk.
