Saturday, December 6th | 7:30 pm | Mary Irwin Theatre |The Vancouver Chamber Choir, conducted by Kari Turunen, performs True North, a selection of choral works by composers from Canada, Estonia, Denmark, Latvia, and other northern countries. Each work is inspired by the unique landscapes of northern regions.
Artistic Director Kari Turunen began leading the Vancouver Chamber Choir, Canada’s longest-running professional choir, in September 2019, its 49th concert season. Jon Washburn founded the choir in 1971 and it has become an amazing success story, ranking with the handful of North America’s best professional choruses and noted for its diverse repertoire and performing excellence. The choir has presented concerts to audiences at home in Vancouver and on tour across Canada. International excursions have taken them to the USA, Mexico, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Finland, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine.
Honoured with the Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence by Chorus America, the choir has performed countless concerts and broadcasts, released 36 recordings and received numerous awards. Foremost supporters of Canadian music, they are responsible for commissions and premieres of 334 choral works by 145 composers and arrangers, most of whom are Canadian. Over the years the choir has sung over 4,000 performances of works by Canadian composers, in addition to their extensive international repertoire.
