To say this has been a roller coaster year for the Vancouver Chamber Choir is an understatement – between the catastrophic flood last summer and the current global pandemic this certainly wasn’t the inaugural season we had envisioned for our new Artistic Director, Kari Turunen! Nonetheless, we persevere, and we are confident that if we all continue with the current precautions of staying home when possible, washing our hands frequently and maintaining social distance we will be able to kick off our exciting 50th anniversary season in September.

SUBSCRIBERS – we will follow up with you via email or telephone. We are incredibly grateful to the astounding number of you who have already offered to donate the value of your subscription tickets back to the choir. Thank you so very, very much!

NON-SUBSCRIPTION TICKET HOLDERS

• March 30 (Stephen Chatman Celebration): this co-production with the Canadian Music Centre BC Region has been postponed to September. Once a new date has been confirmed we will reach out to ticket holders to discuss options.
• April 10 (St. John Passion): due to the overwhelming volume of transactions, Ticketmaster requires up to 30 days to automatically process refunds.
• May 8 (This Delicate Universe): single ticket holders will be contacted directly by the Chan Centre’s box office.

If possible, we’d like to reschedule our Divertimento fundraising dinner in September. And, pending approval by the BC Gaming Commission, the draw date for our 2020 raffle (Win a trip for two to Chicago) will be postponed until later in the year. Those who have already purchased tickets will be notified as soon as the new draw date has been confirmed.

Thank you, again, for your words of encouragement and support during these uncertain times. Please do your best to stay safe and healthy, and we look forward to singing for you again very soon!

Steven Bélanger, Executive Director
