“I never knew that music like this was accessible to me, I’m not trained and I cannot read music. But that doesn’t matter, the tools I need are available to me, the support I need is available to me and every week I feel I grow musically.”
We accept new members year-round. Membership is open to all women and non-binary persons.
Lions Gate Chorus is an a cappella chorus committed to high-quality singing, performance and education. We have about 100 members of diverse backgrounds and ages who travel from all over the Lower Mainland and beyond (including the Interior, Vancouver Island, and Washington State) to rehearse with us every week. We rehearse Tuesdays at 7:00pm in the Queensborough area of New Westminster.
We are part of an international a cappella singing organization and regularly compete both regionally and internationally.
