Choralation is now auditioning for our Tenor and Bass sections. Our repertoire includes all genres including folk, pop, classical, jazz, and more. As some of our selections can be challenging, strong music reading ability is highly recommended.
Choralation is free to join, and our regular performances are held as fundraisers to support local music charities. We are an inclusive, welcoming, and enthusiastic group who love to sing and share music with others.
We rehearse every Tuesday evening in various locations in Vancouver, Burnaby and Port Coquitlam.
If you are interested in auditioning, please visit Our Contact Page

Our Christmas gift to you this year is our recording of "What Child is This?"
Shortly before the global pandemic shut down our in-person rehearsals, we had started learning The Kings Singers "Greensleeves" arrangement by Bob Chilcott. We've been missing singing this one so we decided to bring you this Christmas arrangement of the traditional carol. Thank you so much for watching, and Happy Holidays!

Whether it be finding new ways to entertain yourself at home, not being able to visit loved ones at home, or making your home your workplace, 2020 has changed the concept of 'home' for many of us. We hope that our recording of Pentatonix's "Take Me Home" reminds us of the happiness that home can bring, as we look with optimism towards the future.

What do you do when you're about start learning a new song and a pandemic hits? You learn it anyway! We may be physically isolated, but we'll never be musically isolated. We hope you enjoy our version of I'm Yours / Somewhere Over the Rainbow that we recorded and put together for you.

Choralation stepped out for a night of fun at the Vancouver Pentatonix concert. This superstar a cappella group rocked the PNE Coliseum in a fantastic show. We had an amazing time! This year Choralation is working on two Pentatonix songs, "Cheerleader" and "Run to You" (a Pentatonix original). So glad to see a cappella singing hitting the mainstream!

The votes are in! We've picked some of our favourite a cappella songs from last year's Vancouver A Cappella Concert "Living Life in A cappella" to keep for our 2016 season, and we've also selected some brand new repertoire to try out this year, including a new original in-house arrangement of Undisclosed Desires by the rock band Muse, Vancouver choral director Jonathan Quick's lovely arrangement of Loch Lomond, and the beautiful Abendlied by Josef Rheinberger. It's shaping up to be a fantastic a cappella season!
