Event Description

We are so excited to announce our Spring Concert! The Choir, The Chorus, Sound Dragon and The Mini-Choir all look forward to sharing our original choral and piano arrangements of songs by Chappell Roan, The Pointer Sisters, R.E.M., Crosby, Stills and Nash, Gillian Welch, Queen and David Bowie, and more! We’re honoured to be sharing the stage with Juno-winning singer-songwriter Stephen Fearing!

We are proud to donate all net proceeds from ticket sales to: PEPAKEṈ HÁUTW̱ - Practicing land-based education & ecosystem restoration.

We hope to share the importance of native ecosystems and the network of embedded relations. They support greater biodiversity and their healthy populations work to mitigate climate change.

It is our responsibility to protect native ecosystems, and to share our knowledge and teachings about restoration practices. PEPAKEṈ HÁUTW̱ hopes to inspire community members to take an ecological approach to return native plants across the W̱SÁNEĆ homelands.

MORE ABOUT STEPHEN FEARING:

Stephen Fearing was born in 1963 in Vancouver, British Columbia and grew up in Dublin, Ireland where his schoolmates included future members of U2. In 1981, he moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota and immersed himself in the music scene, learning the fundamentals of song writing and performing, while washing dishes to stay alive. By 1984 he was back in Vancouver, determined to become a professional musician. In the years since, he’s been named as one of the finest songwriters in Canada and has built a national – and international – audience for his music, doing it old school through countless performances at intimate venues and on the concert stages of festivals and theatres across Canada, the US, the UK, and Europe, with appearances at major events like the Reading Festival and WOMAD, to name just a few.

MORE ABOUT THE CHOIRS YYJ:

Since 2013 The Choirs YYJ has endeavored to bring amateur singers together to perform unique and original choral arrangements of pop, indie and folk songs. Before we were four ensembles (The Choir, The Chorus, Mini-Choir and Sound Dragon), we were a motley group of people who gathered in local music shop in 2013 to sing well-known and not-so-well-known songs for fun. (Still our first love.) In those early days, we had no idea that so many of our friends and neighbours were eager to belt out a song! Today, our group has multiplied in size, notoriety, and music-making activities. Collectively, our non-auditioned ensembles, “The Choirs YYJ,” includes over 200 people of all ages, genders, experiences, vocal abilities and musical tastes. The Mini-Choir is an auditioned chamber group performing similar yet more challenging repertoire. The Choirs are Directed by Marc Jenkins, and accompanied on piano by Erin Gray, and sometimes on guitar by Layten Kramer.

The Choirs YYJ rehearse and perform, and are guests on the territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) and SENĆOŦEN-speaking (W̱SÁNEĆ/Saanich) peoples, known today as Esquimalt, Songhees and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations.
