Swiss Montagna Singers of Ottawa-Metzgete Dance, Saturday, October 21 st , 2006<br />
all photos at Metzgete by Oswin Lohe<br />
<strong>The</strong> Montagna Singers were<br />
formed in 1975 by a group of<br />
"Swiss abroad" who wanted to<br />
maintain the singing and musical<br />
tradition of their homeland. Since<br />
that formative time the choir has<br />
performed frequently in the<br />
National Capital Region of Ottawa<br />
Canada, as well as singing and<br />
competing in many festivals<br />
across North America.<br />
In 1994 it hosted the triennial<br />
international festival of the North<br />
American Swiss Singing Alliance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> choir sings principally in the<br />
four national languages of<br />
Switzerland - Schwiizerdütsch<br />
(Swiss German), French, Italian<br />
and Romansch - as well as in<br />
English. Based in Ottawa, the<br />
group draws its members from a<br />
wide radius around the city.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir Director, Heather Rice,<br />
joined them in January 2001.<br />
Heather, who is an Associate of<br />
the Royal Canadian College of<br />
organists, teaches music and is<br />
organist and choir director at St.<br />
Stephen's Presbyterian Church in<br />
Ottawa.<br />
