YVR POP CHOIR is a choir of 60 singers that formed in 2017. They sing pop, indie and R&B songs to benefit the welfare of animals. 100% of the proceeds from their shows are donated to local animal rescues. Since January 2018, They have raised over $25,000 for animal rescues such as VOKRA, Wildlife Rescue of BC and more.
Solidarity Notes Labour Choir is a group of activists who know that music is more than pleasurable sound. It’s a powerful language to educate and connect us and remind us of our strength and history. Throughout history, struggles for labour and human rights have produced music that inspires and reconnects us to hope and possibility. Their repertoire consists of labour songs and songs of social justice. The songs balances a sense of history with a desire to sing and inspire the movements of today. They sing songs from past centuries to the present. They look around the world for inspiration. Usually we sing in English, but we also sing in French, Spanish, Yiddish, Arabic, Mandarin, Zulu and Tagalog.
