ABOUT OUR PERFORMANCES

We perform two major concerts each year, one in January and the other in June.

Our concerts are heart-warming and memorable events, providing our audience with a wonderful musical experience of our joy and camaraderie. After each concert, we host a brief reception with refreshments for our audience.

High Spirits is also an outreach choir, singing for people who normally don't get the opportunity to hear live music. We perform at retirement homes, hospices, festivals and at community events such as the Van Dusen Festival of Lights.

"You look great on stage; you're fun to watch.”

"My friend and neighbour who is a professional accompanist and her husband who used to sing with Vancouver Opera enjoyed the concert very much and thought that the choice of music showed... the director really knew what she was doing."
