Chor Leoni is bringing audiences a 2025/26 season filled with powerful and moving concert experiences.
Taking the stage from November 2025 through May 2026, the season will invite audiences to four carefully curated concert programs, with programming spanning ancient melodies, reimagined pop favourites, and timeless choral treasures.
Chor Leoni’s 34th season includes 13 performances from the organization’s 65-voice volunteer choir, 18 world premieres, the return of The Leonids – their nine-voiced professional ensemble, two free choral programs for young singers, and one free program for pre-professional singers.
Complementing their live performances, Chor Leoni will again share their Concert Films, free with RSVP. Chor Leoni has also announced their inaugural Amplify Artist in Residence – northern Indigenous multi-disciplinary artist, Miranda Currie, whose works will be premiered at The Big Roar in May 2026.
“Through song, Chor Leoni strives to build connections and a deeper understanding of what brings us together,” says Artistic Director Erick Lichte. “These four concert programs embody everything that Chor Leoni strives for, pairing newly commissioned pieces and arrangements with beloved favourites and treasured traditions, a joyous celebration of the singing community in Vancouver and beyond, and so much more. We hope you’ll join us.”
