Innovating Tradition for 50 Years with CBC Radio Orchestra
Honouring VCS alumni – music directors and choir members
A new commission by Cameron Wilson
VCS' Best of Bach and much more

Our final concert of the season returns us to the Chan Centre for our 50th Anniversary Gala Concert. For this, we are accompanied by our long-time collaborators, the CBC Radio Orchestra. We’ve programmed a segment including a few well-known cantata choruses plus the complete Cantata 149, Mann singet mit Freuden vom Sieg.

We’re also very exited to have commissioned a new work for the occasion from Vancouver composer Cameron Wilson. Following that, we’ll pay tribute to our most distinguished former conductors with repertoire that celebrates their leadership of the choir, and end with an invitation to Cantata Singers alumni to join us on stage for a final piece (if you are a VCS alumnus and would like to take part, please send us an email).

We look forward to seeing you at the concert!
