For 30 years, Chor Leoni has combined dedication to excellence with an ambitious focus on community engagement, all through the lens of an amateur ensemble. Chor Leoni’s vision is to engage and enrich the world through the art of male choral singing.
In this spirit, Chor Leoni has created The Leonids, a professional chamber vocal ensemble under the direction of Erick Lichte. The Leonids exist to amplify Chor Leoni’s values, demonstrate the highest level of excellence, and provide an unparalleled level of education and mentorship to the local Vancouver singing community. Members of The Leonids are drawn from across North America and represent the most in-demand solo and ensemble singers on the continent.
Like the legendary meteor show for which they are named, The Leonids gather in Vancouver once a year and had their debut concerts in Vancouver in May 2022. Stir magazine raved of their debut concert, “never before in Vancouver have we heard sounds like these.”
