JOIN A CHOIR
We house 4 contemporary choirs at Chorus Studio: YVR Pop Choir, B-Roll, Pacific Soul, and Spotlight Choir. No audition is required! All levels are welcome in all of our choirs—the only requirement is that you can sing on pitch.
​
YVR Pop Choir sings pop, indie, rock, and soul music on Monday evenings. B-Roll sings R&B, pop, gospel, and soul music on Tuesdays. Pacific Soul is our most beginner-friendly choir that sings Motown, 90s R&B, and pop on Wednesdays. Spotlight sings musical theatre and dance-pop on Thursday evenings. Whichever choir you choose, singing with us is empowering, freeing, and simply FUN!
​
Our choirs are the heart of the Chorus Studio community, with a mission to be an inspiring, healing, and uplifting space where members come together to sing, learn, and give back. Since 2017, our benefit concerts have raised over $100,000 for local charities including the Vancouver Aboriginal Health Society, Wildlife Rescue of BC, BC Crisis Centre, and the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre.
​
We perform regularly at The Cultch Historic Theatre and The York Theatre and have appeared at the flagship TED conference, Lincoln Center in New York City, and campaigns by Disney, Uber, and TransLink.
​
But our choirs are more than performance groups—they are learning communities. Each choir follows a set curriculum designed to develop both your vocal skills and your artistic expression. Our highly trained music directors are not just conductors; they are vocal coaches who specialize in helping singers develop their skills. Rehearsals include focused instruction on breath support, vowel shaping, resonance, vocal strength and ease, and singing with evenness and control across your range. You’ll also learn to move with the music, sing with authentic style, explore tone variations, and express yourself with emotional, passionate phrasing.
​
We believe in tracking and celebrating progress. Every year kicks off with a filmed live music video, backed by our live house band, that documents the music we make as a community and serves as a learning experience for all singers. In June and December, we close each season with a weekend of concerts, raising funds for local causes while showcasing what we've learned and created together.
​
Our program is built around clear goals and a structured, sequential approach, blending creativity and fun with meaningful musical education. Our directors are trained in The Connection Method, a functional vocal technique exclusive to Chorus Studio, ensuring that our singers receive consistent and effective instruction throughout their journey.
​
At its core, Chorus Studio is a place where you can find joy, community, and personal growth through music. Whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned performer, you'll find a supportive home here, and leave each rehearsal feeling stronger, more connected, and more inspired.

It all started with YVR POP CHOIR (YPC). Founded in 2016, this adult performance choir (16+) was formed out of Rebecca Lam's desire to connect her students to each other, provide more performance opportunities and contribute to local animal rescues. YPC has since been featured in press coverage in Canada and around the world, performing at TED2023, viral marketing campaigns with Disney, Uber and Translink and we've even performed in Lincoln Centre in New York City!
