Aella Choir: On the Coast!
On its first ever tour, Ottawa’s Aella Choir will be performing a collection of favourite works, curated from three years’ worth of performances. These include concerts that have explored women’s stories and experiences, a memorable Kitchen Party, and Aella’s very first program, which was a celebration of Canadian music.
Aella is a treble ensemble founded by Jennifer Berntson, which performs without a conductor. Initially started as a pick-up choir for a single project, Aella is thrilled to have become a part of Ottawa’s rich choral scene! The ensemble has been described as “everything modern choir should be – innovative, technically precise, joyous, comforting and representative” (Andrew Riddles, Classical Ottawa). They enjoy singing a mix of genres – from traditional choral repertoire, to challenging contemporary music, to pop – but mostly, they enjoy singing with each other.
