The Montagna Singers was formed in 1975 by a group of "Swiss abroad" who wanted to maintain the singing and musical tradition of their homeland. Since that formative time the choir has performed frequently in the National Capital Region of Ottawa Canada, as well as singing and competing in many festivals across North America. In 1994 it hosted the triennial international festival of the North American Swiss Singing Alliance. four national languages The choir sings principally in the four national languages of Switzerland - Schwiizerdütsch (Swiss German), French, Italian and Romansch - as well as in English.
