A spectacular union of holiday magic and choral traditions will be taking place in Chilliwack when the Chilliwack Cultural Centre celebrates the season with the Vancouver Men’s Chorus and its Making Spirits Bright show on Nov. 25.

There could be no better way to mark the arrival of the festive period or get into the spirit of the season than with the resonant and inspirational tone of dozens of voices in glorious chorus.

The Vancouver Men’s Chorus is one of Canada’s premier singing ensembles and Canada’s first gay chorus. Established in 1981, the chorus has been delighting audiences both locally and abroad for nearly 40 years. Over the years, the Vancouver Men’s Chorus has fashioned its own tradition by singing about timeless Christmas stories, the triumphant story of Chanukah, and the mystery of the winter solstice in their Making Spirits Bright show. With songs from their own songbook and a sneak preview of their upcoming concerts, this evening will take you on an extraordinary musical journey.

The group offers not only the enjoyment of music, but also gave its members a sense of support, community and hope for those who faced rejections and discrimination. The Vancouver Men’s Chorus has brought a very special combination of tradition, mirth, and majestic musical atmosphere to audiences around the world – and will prove the perfect way to get full of the festive season when they appear in Chilliwack!

So for a night steeped in holiday spirit and uplifting choral tradition, make sure to join The Vancouver Men’s Chorus – Making Spirits Bright when they celebrate the season at The Centre!
