VANCOUVER BACH CHOIR
A SHORT BIOGRAPHY


Situated in Vancouver, the gateway of the Pacific Rim, the Vancouver Bach Family of Choirs is an organization which includes the award-winning adult symphonic choir and children’s program. The organization is committed to offering choral education to its members – 100+ adults and 330+ young people – as well as vibrant and culturally diverse choral experiences to its audiences.

As one of the largest choral organizations in Canada, the Vancouver Bach Family of Choirs explores a wide range of repertoire from the past to the present with passion and commitment. Through its series of concerts presented at the magnificent Orpheum Theatre and throughout the lower mainland and points beyond, the organization continues to meet its mandate of choral education, as well as commissioning and performing works by Canadian composers alongside the world’s favourite symphonic choral works.

The adult choir, under the baton of Maestro Leslie Dala, celebrates its 85th anniversary in the 2015-16 season. The 2014-15 season celebrated the 30th anniversary of the children’s program, ably guided by Music Director Marisa Gaetanne.
