A Message from Jon Washburn
Dear Vancouver Chamber Choir fans,
Welcome to a world of beauty...
Ten times a year the master musicians of the Vancouver Chamber Choir create this world of beauty and meaning just for you and others
like you... the Vancouver Chamber Choir audience. We bring the whole range of vocal expression to you - from the majesty of choir
and orchestra to the multi-hued palette of unaccompanied voices - from the masterpieces of the greatest composers to the excitement
of the latest premiere - from song to motet to oratorio and even opera.
We happily bring these offerings to you every month, for in enriching your lives, ours are enriched too. Music is a real
communication. It's a win-win situation for all concerned, for our task is not completed until you have received our songs.
Certainly, all our singers and instrumentalists are professional musicians - highly trained and experienced in the musical arts -
but the essential characteristic they share is love... love of music making, love of the glorious choral repertoire, love of the art
itself and of the poetic messages it elevates.
How can you be a part of this music's magic? It's easy. Just use this brochure to become a season's subscriber. Choose four
concerts, six, eight, even all 10. (We call all 10 the Whole Songbook!) You must be there to enjoy the music, and subscribing is the
best way to ensure that your seats are reserved.
And you subscribers are very important to our ability to continue producing fine concerts. Patrons, donors, sponsors, governments -
these are all essential in maintaining the Choir's excellence and programming. But the most crucial is you, the listener and
concert-partner. You make it all possible.
Thank you for all your support... and welcome to our world of beauty!
Jon Washburn
Conductor and Artistic Director
