The Pacific Spirit Choir

We are a community choir hosted at West Vancouver United Church on Vancouver’s North Shore in British Columbia.

Our vision is to be a premier concert choir enjoyed for its repertoire of entertaining and engaging music. It ranges from large oratorios and Masses of composers from the 17th to the 21st century, to shorter choral gems, ancient and modern, classical to jazz, serious to humorous. To get a glimpse of our musical offerings, click here to view two video performances we made in May 2018.

Our mission is to present meticulously prepared, passionate performances so as to create community, increase vocal and musical skills of our members and enrich the lives of audiences at home and abroad. To find out how to join us, click here.
