Phoenix Chamber Choir, under the direction of Dr. Nicholle Andrews, D. and Assistant Conductor, Dave Rosborough, is now in its 41st season as one of Canada’s finest vocal ensembles, renowned for diverse and eclectic programming from the Renaissance to the contemporary, commissions from Canadian and international composers, and North American premieres of significant new works. The choir has recorded and released twelve CDs throughout its history, including its most recent album released in 2023: Through the Storm, featuring five newly commissioned works. With its long-standing history of success in national and international choral competitions and the talent and training of its members, Phoenix Chamber Choir is enriching and extending its earned reputation as an elite-level ensemble. The choir strives to connect deeply with its audiences by sharing innovative and world-class musical experiences, both in person and online, and provides invaluable musical opportunities for British Columbian and Canadian choral artists and composers. As a community of singers, members of Phoenix Chamber Choir are lifelong learners who believe in deepening our connection to music through diverse programming, intentional empathy building, and culturally responsive practices. For over four decades, the Phoenix Chamber Choir has played an integral part in developing young musicians, composers and conductors in Vancouver, and has helped to establish Canada’s West Coast as one of the most important centres of choral music in the world.
