Schola Cantorum Brings Their Choral Virtuosity to Vancouver
Sacramento ensemble has backed up Barry Manilow, Susan Boyle, and Sarah Brightman – and sung for two Popes.
Enjoy a sonic journey through four centuries of stunning choral music as Sacramento California’s Schola Cantorum presents a concert of glorious choral music performed in the historic beauty of downtown Vancouver’s Christ Church Cathedral (Saturday, June 17 at 3pm). In a program that includes works by Canadian composer Eleanor Daley, Lativan choral superstar Ēriks Ešenvalds, Moses Hogan, and Elaine Hagenberg and more, you’ll be dazzled by the same virtuosity that garnered Schola Cantorum invitations to the Vatican to sing for two Popes.

690 Burrard St at Georgia, Vancouver
Admission by free-will offering
