They were accompanied by the Ottawa Baroque Consort, and joined by some very special (and excited) collaborators: Old Ottawa South’s very own Makin’ Moves Children’s Dance Theatre. Since 1997, Seventeen Voyces has been performing choral music in Ottawa under the direction of Kevin Reeves. “Venus and Adonis”, an opera by Dr. John Blow originally presented around 1683, is typical of the “hidden musical gems” that the ensemble focuses on.

  • Ministry Personnel Pub Nights by Mike Perreault Some of Us Have Been Talking About Experimenting with a Regular Gathering of Ottawa Area Ministry Personnel
    1 Ministry Personnel Pub Nights by Mike Perreault Some of us have been talking about experimenting with a regular gathering of Ottawa area ministry personnel. The second Tuesday of each month (Ottawa's former Presbytery night) seemed like a natural fit. We thought a more-or-less central location close to the 417 with ample parking would work to start. We came up with Liam Maguire's on St. Laurent near Innes. I contacted them and made a reservation for 12 (seemed like a good number!) for Tuesday, August 13th at 7:30 PM. I can commit to being there for the first meet-up and hope to see some of you there. Visit the gallery of EOORC churches now on the website.
