ABOUT THE Choir
The Pacific Spirit Choir is a community choir formed in 1998 and hosted at West Vancouver United Church on Vancouver’s North Shore in British Columbia, Canada. Our mission is to create community and enrich the lives of our audiences and members, at home and abroad, through meticulously prepared, passionate performances of great choral works. Our repertoire ranges from large oratorios and Masses of composers from the 17th to the 21st century, to shorter choral gems, ancient to modern, classical to jazz, serious to humourous.
Touring has been a focus of our group: we have completed six tours to Europe, visiting the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Austria, Italy and Spain.
