******************
Since 1983, the Vancouver Children’s Choir has provided young musicians with the opportunity to learn the foundations of choral singing through the works of Pergolesi, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Debussy, and Britten. From Beethoven to Bernstein, the choir’s performances and recordings also showcase the variety of musical styles and languages each chorister experiences.
Throughout its thirty eight year history, VCC has offered excellent vocal training and a wide variety of performance experiences, including singing for royalty and world renowned artists and musicians. The choir has recorded sound-track work for NBC and Paramount Pictures, provided vocals for artists such as Judith Forst and the Vancouver Symphony, and sung for a diverse range of corporate events!
In past years VCC has toured Italy, and was choir-in-residence at an international conference in York, England. This choir has brought their voices to a wide variety of famous spaces such as Coventry Cathedral in England, St. Peter’s in Rome and Carnegie Hall, New York. The Vancouver Children’s has been praised for their artistry at local music festivals and placed second in the Children’s Choir category at the International Musical Eisteddfod, in Llangollen, Wales.
