The Stairwell Carollers are a charitable a cappella Ottawa choir, who sing sacred and secular renaissance music, as well as settings of traditional and contemporary Christmas carols. Director, Pierre Massie, has composed many original pieces for the choir, as well as creating lively and contemporary arrangements of traditional carols. Winner of the 2010 and 2013 OMFA provincial competition, this non-profit group has raised over $40,000 for local Ottawa/Gatineau charities,through the sale of concert tickets, CDs and cookbooks. Recently winning second place in the National Music Festival 2010, they are now ranked amongst the best of Canada's choirs. Written by Holly Massie, one of the founding members, this Blog trains a magnifying glass on the 35 year life of our charitable choir, The Stairwell Carollers. Occasional posts will be on related topics and local events, but most content is original -- focused on the Stairwell Carollers genesis and continuity.
