Mòran taing.
We welcome new members, and are currently have openings for 1 bass, 2 tenors, 2 altos and 1 soprano.
Some of our repertoire is in Scottish Gaelic, and we have several Gaelic learners in our choir, but knowledge of Gaelic is not a requirement to join the choir. All that is necessary is a love of music, and a desire to enjoy and share the Gaelic language and culture through our music.
Please call our Director, Dubravko Pajalic at (604) 251-6344 to arrange a first meeting.
For more than a century Vancouver has been home to people singing in Scottish Gaelic. Traditional forms of singing were preserved by individuals and groups at ceilidhs in their homes, or at ceilidh-concerts at the Scottish Cultural Centre and other venues. Unison choirs grew out of this tradition.
The Vancouver Gaelic Choir has been entertaining audiences since 1983. We perform for community organizations at concerts, ceilidhs, festivals and cultural events in B.C. and beyond, singing, preserving and sharing the rich Gaelic musical heritage of Scotland and North America.
The choir has represented B.C. and Canada at the Royal National Mòd, Scotland's premier Gaelic music festival, in 1985, 1988, 1993, 1997 and at the online Mòd in 2021. In August 2000, the choir participated in a very successful concert tour of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, performing at Highland Village days, at Ceilidhs, Churches and St. Ann's Gaelic College.
In 2018 we partnered with the Pender Island Pipe Band to deliver a concert on Pender Island.
