The Vancouver Children’s Choir is renowned as one of the finest choirs of its kind in Canada. Since 1983, the Choir has provided young singers with the opportunity to learn the foundations of choral music from plainsong and Renaissance polyphony to twentieth-century masterpieces and new commissions. Comprising up to 32 boys (aged 7-13) and girls (age 7 to 16), the Choir pursues a varied programme of recordings, concerts and tours, giving performances under the direction of conductor Rupert Lang in England, Wales, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, the United States and Canada.

For nearly forty years, the Vancouver Children’s Choir has offered excellent vocal training and a wide variety of performance experiences, including singing for His Majesty King Charles III (as HRH the Prince of Wales) and world renowned artists and musicians including Cirque du Soleil and Fretwork. The Choir has released five recordings and recorded soundtrack work for Lionsgate Productions, Disney, the Junos, NBC and Paramount Pictures, as well as provided vocals for artists such as Judith Forst, Jim Byrnes, and the Vancouver Symphony. The Choir has brought their voices to a wide variety of famous spaces such as Coventry Cathedral in England, St. Peter’s in Rome, St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague, and Carnegie Hall in New York. At home in Vancouver, the Choir rehearses each Wednesday evening at historic Christ Church Cathedral, the oldest building in downtown Vancouver and one of the city's most beautiful and acoustically rich venues.

The Vancouver Children’s Choir provides outstanding musical education and values diversity, giving children from all backgrounds the opportunity to become a chorister. A love of singing and an enthusiasm for music are all that is required: no formal training is necessary. Financial assistance may be available to help fund the musical education and training of our choristers, dependent on the financial position of their families. Performing to a professional standard, our choristers develop self-confidence and learn lessons that will last a lifetime.
