Horizon Choir
Choir presentation
Founded in 2001, the Montreal Children’s Choir (CEM) is celebrating its 22nd anniversary. The initiative was born from the vision of nationally renowned conductor Iwan Edwards and parents determined to make choral singing accessible to all children in Greater Montreal. What began modestly with a choir of only 25 children now includes five choirs comprising over 135 choristers aged 5 to 21, from more than 30 primary schools, secondary schools, and CEGEPs. Over the years, united by their passion for singing, the young singers have had the privilege of performing under the direction of Iwan Edwards (2001-2009), Andrew Gray (2009-2016), and Léa Moisan-Perrier (2016-).
From its very beginnings, the CEM has carved out a place for itself on the Montreal cultural scene and has performed numerous times with several renowned classical ensembles such as the Montreal Symphony Orchestra (OSM). The CEM has also collaborated with many famous pop artists, including Half Moon Run, Patrick Watson, and Les Cowboys Fringants for album recordings, and Roger Waters (The Wall) and Kenny Rogers for sharing the stage.
