Proceeds to Chor Leoni and Rotary Foundation. An evening of fun, frivolity and fundraising, Chor Leoni Cabaret features Vancouver’s ‘choir of lions’ on stage at the River Rock Show Theatre in a lighthearted program of folksongs and selections from Broadway. This being a Show Theatre, one can expect reprises of some of Chor Leoni’s crowd-pleasing choreographic numbers as well. Drawing on the choir’s eclectic repertoire, director Diane Loomer, C.M. is sure to bring the choir’s trademark humour and sense of fun – along with great stage presence and singing – to the River Rock. Take a gamble and come out to the River Rock for an evening of fun and frivolity in support of two great causes. Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. There are over 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary's main objective is service - in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
Chor Leoni Men’s Choir
A rich full-bodied sound, innovative programming, technical precision, meticulous intonation, and versatility coupled with an ever-present commitment to the creation of new Canadian choral works are qualities that have catapulted Chor Leoni to national and international fame since its founding by Diane Loomer C.M. in 1992. Whether it be a somber moment of reflection during a Remembrance Day performance or a joyful turn of comedic phrasing at a Summer Solstice show, Chor Leoni is renowned for reaching across the footlights and transforming the performance from ‘concert’ to ‘conversation.’ The lions live up to their name as they fearlessly move between musical genres, always aiming to communicate, engage, and entertain. Selections from the choir’s discography are heard regularly on national radio across North America. Their latest recording, Circle of Compassion, features music the choir has performed in recent Remembrance Day concerts, much of it commissioned by or arranged for Chor Leoni.
