Mccca

Founded in Montréal on August 11, 1996, MCCCA is the first and largest local organization of its kind and one of the largest in North America. Along lines of art forms, the organization branches out to six divisions, namely, the Folk Dance Troop, the Folk Music Instrumental Ensemble, the Waist Drum Troop, the Singers Group, the Lion Dance Group, an... d the Chorus. Through years of untiring efforts, the Centre has accumulated a large repertoire of Chinese and other Oriental performing items. It now boasts over a resplendent array of stage costumes, a sufficient collection of stage articles, musical instruments, sound devices and other equipment, to meet the needs of all its performing situations and activities. Ever since its foundation, the Centre has kept receiving invitations from various social and cultural sectors. It has staged hundreds of impressive presentations to the Chinese and the larger Canadian communities in and around Montreal, and in many other cities of Eastern Canada and US, on important social, cultural and other festive occasions. These include independent large-scale MCCCA stagings and participation in activities sponsored by other organizations. The Centres brilliant performances and other cultural and artistic activities have drawn countless enthusiastic reports in local Chinese newspapers. Some of these shows were also aired on public English and French TV stations. In its history, the Centre has established a prestige for its characteristic performing style, devotion of membership, and collective effort. It promises to continue making contributions to the Canadian multiculturalism.Read More
