Every spring the Vancouver Chamber Choir tours one region of Canada or another - this year it’s the West: BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. It’s actually the Choir’s 79th tour in 39 years, and 60 of those have been in Canada. (Click here for a light-hearted tour blog.)
One of the Choir’s little traditions is to bring that traveling choral experience back to share with loyal Vancouver audiences. So come welcome them HOME AGAIN.
You can depend on Jon Washburn’s tour programmes to provide a kaleidoscope of choral styles, moods and flavours. You won’t want to miss this one! Two performances, Friday night and Sunday afternoon.
