Poloz: Triennial Festival and Hamilton Choir

poloz: In early November, Poloz and the HCC performed at the Ontario Music Educators' Association Resonate 2016 conference in Niagara Falls, according to Hamilton Spectator. Some of the feedback they received after their Friday-night showcase performance was startling. Late last August, artistic director Zimfira Poloz and 53 of her HCC Ilumini choristers jetted off to Paradise Island, The Bahamas, for America Cantat 8, a noncompetitive triennial festival featuring choirs from North and South America. We were surprised about how many music teachers in Ontario had never heard about the Hamilton Children's Choir, said Poloz over the phone to The Spectator from her Mississauga home last week. It was very interesting. People were coming to our room after we finished and were asking, like, where we were located. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
