Confidence isn’t about perfection.

Mistakes are part of every rehearsal and every performance. What matters is learning to recognize them, move forward, and keep going together.

That’s how choristers build resilience, trust the process, and grow in confidence.

In the performing arts, it’s not perfection that matters, it’s how we respond to the unexpected. And that’s where real confidence is built. 💙

We are grateful for the support of the Ontario Arts Council, which helps make the work of the Ottawa Children’s Choir possible.

At our May 9 Spring Concert, we will also take a moment to recognize provincial arts funding through a program of folk songs that reflect the richness of our local, provincial, and national communities.

Support like this, alongside the commitment of our families, donors, and broader community, allows us to provide high-quality choral training while keeping our programs accessible to children and youth across Ottawa.

In the coming days, we’ll be sharing more about how this support comes together and the many ways our community helps bring OCC to life. 💙
