Refuge

Vancouver Cantata Singers was founded in 1957, and has become one of Canada’s preeminent, award-winning choral ensembles. The Vancouver choir has become known for technical virtuosity, fine blend and exceptionally high performance standards encompassing 500 years of choral repertoire. VCS has been awarded the Canada Council’s top prize in choral singing, the Healey Willan Grand Prize, more than any other choir in the country. Led by Paula Kremer since 2013, VCS also commissions new works from critically acclaimed composers which have led to extremely successful and innovative collaborations with regional and international artists and ensembles.

Pacific Spirit United Church

The Vancouver Cantata Singers welcome you to REFUGE - our first concert of the 2023/24 season OASIS: Solace in Song. A week before Remembrance Day, REFUGE remembers those who fought for peace and explores themes of comfort and shelter from distress. Highlights of the program include William Byrd's Infelix ego, marking the 400th year anniversary of his death, and Reena Esmail's When the violin. We are honoured to be joined by Russell Wallace in performing his arrangement of Prayer and the premiere of an arrangement of Forgotten Warriors - a new commission by VCS.
