Welcome to the 48th continuous season of
Valley Festival Singers!
Hello, and thank you for visiting our website! Valley Festival Singers (VFS) is a passionate, auditioned community choir dedicated to delivering musical excellence to the Fraser Valley. If you are interested in singing with us, please contact info@valleyfestivalsingers.com to arrange an audition.
Valley Festival Singers has an exciting concert series lined up this season. We hope to see you at any or all of our three holiday-themed events coming in 2024-25! For detailed information about our Christmas, Valentine’s, and Easter programmes, please visit the “Concerts” link on our website.
VFS is thrilled to announce our upcoming Christmas concert “Hark! Rejoice! With Brass and Voice!”
This year, our choir has partnered with Free Range Brass, a local professional brass quintet. Their talent is remarkable, and they will bring warmth and majesty to our exciting program.
The program is full of incredible music, with a little something for everybody. Jazz, Gospel, Renaissance, 20th Century classical, your favourite Christmas tunes, and so, SO much brass! As always we invite our lovely audience to sing with us at various times in our program. It’s not a VFS Christmas without some carols and, of course, the Hallelujah Chorus!
Some repertoire highlights include:
-
Christmas Cantata (Sinfonia Sacra) – Daniel Pinkham
-
Ave Maria – Biebl, Bruckner
-
Sweet Little Jesus Boy – arr. Larry Nickel
-
Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring – Bach
-
Hallelujah Chorus – Handel
-
And many arrangements by the renowned Canadian Brass
We sincerely look forward to having you join us!
