The Kokopelli Choir Association is thrilled to have capped off its successful 2014-15 season with a trio of prestigious national awards.
In June, Kokopelli was named Canada's top mixed-voice youth choir in Choral Canada's 2015 National Competition for Canadian Amateur Choirs. Then, in July, Kokopelli was awarded "Best performance by a community choral group 19 & up" at the 45th National Music Festival. Our children's choir, Kikimasu, placed second in its category, "Best performance by a community choral group 12 and under."
The awards cement Kokopelli's reputation as one of Canada's elite choir associations. They also provide a perfect launching point for our exciting 2015-16 20th Anniversary season!
Parents and young choristers! This spring, Kokopelli Choir Association invites you to sit in on an actual rehearsal. See what our organization is like, and watch the rehearsal process. It's a fun, no-pressure opportunity to see if our choirs are right for you.
