The Toronto Children’s Chorus embarks on its 34th international tour with travel to Hong Kong and Singapore in July 2026 where the Choir, under the leadership of Artistic Director Zimfira Poloz, has been invited to perform at two prestigious choral festivals. 38 TCC choristers (aged 12-17) and TCC artistic leaders will represent Canada through performances, musical and cultural exchange, and collaboration with top youth choirs from around the world.

​

TCC Chamber Choir (TCC’s senior choir) was invited to be a Resident Choral Artist at the World Choir Festival-Hong Kong taking place from July 13-16, 2026. This festival is a global celebration of choral artistry that annually brings together thousands of choristers and choral leaders from diverse countries and regions. TCC Chamber Choir will perform in Festival concerts and lead interactive workshops for participating choirs. Dr. Poloz will also be a member of the International Jury for the competition portion of this Festival. 

​

The Choir will then travel to Singapore for the Voices of the World International Choir Festival by Voices of Singapore taking place from July 16-20, 2026. As a headline guest choir, TCC will present its own recital and will perform in a concert together with the Voices of Singapore Children’s Choir. During this festival, Dr. Poloz will also share her passion and expertise with other participating children’s choirs as a Guest Conductor and Master Class Clinician. 

​

"I am so proud to travel with these young singers to Asia, and to perform as invited guest artists at two such significant international festivals. TCC performing on the international stage contributes to both the Canadian choral landscape and to the growth of our young singers. TCC will share Canadian choral artistry to an international audience and highlight works by Canadian composers, choreographers and musicians in our concerts. But most importantly, this tour provides transformative international experiences for our young singers, experiences that build their artistic and performance skills, their confidence and leadership, and enhance their sense of global citizenship." 

- Dr. Zimfira Poloz, TCC Artistic Director
