The Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir

Founded in 1980, the Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir is a group of auditioned all-male amateur singers. They are led by two professional musicians: Jonathan Quick and Karen Lee-Morlang.

The Choir performs up to 18 or so concerts a year including benefit concerts to raise money for charity. They also have a Community Outreach Program which helps those who otherwise would not have the funds to attend their performances.
