Founded in 1983 by Rupert Lang, the Vancouver Children’s has received praise at local music festivals, as well as The International Kathaumixw in Powell River, and placed second in the Children’s Choir category at the International Musical Eisteddfod, in Llangollen, Wales.
Through their almost 30 year history, VCC has offered excellent vocal training as well as a wide variety of performance experience: including singing for Royalty (Prince Charles and Lady Diana at Expo 86), civic and provincial functions, sound-track work for NBC and Paramount Pictures, back-up vocals for artists such as Judith Forst and the VSO; numerous corporate events; singing at sunset on the top of Whistler Mountain; New York’s Carnegie Hall; St. Peter’s in Rome; local collaborative concerts with Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Chor Leoni, Elektra Women’s Choir, Vancouver Cantata Singers, and Vancouver Chamber Choir. Their most recent colaboration was being recorded and filmed for a Stephen Speilberg made-for-TV series called Falling Skies.
VCC recordings take their titles from a work composed specifically for them by their director: Cantate, Spirit of the Child, Can You Imagine?, Carol of the Child and Pilgrim Song. The latter is an anniversary compilation album containing samples of over 20 years of recording history, plus 4 newly recorded tracks.
