The Ottawa Children's Choir's 5 choirs come together with an alumni choir to share their voices with the community during this 65th Anniversary Celebration, supported by the Ottawa Community Foundation and Ontario Arts Council. 

This concert is held at the St. Joseph's Parish in Downtown Ottawa. 

There is a new set up for this concert to give extra seating space and accommodate a larger massed choir with the alumni. For this reason, 6 rows of cushioned chairs have been added to the front of the audience. These are open to be purchased by anyone. 

In December 2014, the UN General Assembly proclaimed the years 2015 to 2024 as the International Decade for People of African Descent. The main objective of this decade is to strengthen actions and measures that ensure the full enjoyment of economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights of people of African descent, and their full and equal participation in society. It also celebrates the contribution of people of African descent to culture, history, and society in general, especially in the rich and varied tradition of choral music.

PODIUM 2024 will mark the end of the decade with a concert featuring the Jireh Gospel Choir (Carol Bernard) and the Nathaniel Dett Chorale (Brainerd Blyden-Taylor). This concert highlights significant and diverse choral contributions of people of African descent, including Sydeny Guillaume, Evelyn Simpson Cureton, and Christopher Ducasse, who will conduct his own compositions.
