Dacapo Chamber Choir

The DaCapo Chamber Choir was founded in 1998 in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario under the direction of Leonard Enns. The mission of the choir is to promote the best of contemporary choral music through the highest possible standard of public performance and the intentional championing of music of Canadian and local composers. The choirs annual national NewWorks choral competition for Canadian composers aids in establishing a vibrant and vital presence for recent and emerging Canadian choral music. 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, DaCapos second recording, ShadowLand, received the 2010 National Choral Recording Award from the Association of Canadian Choral Communities.
