Based in Vancouver, the EnChor Choir is an experienced group of singers that put on a couple of public concerts each year.
It’s a terrific classical choir. In additional to singing classical pieces, however, their concerts include a wide range of songs. When we went there was also Folk music and a couple of arrangements with contemporary tunes by Sting and Coldplay. There were even a couple of songs where the audience got to sing along. We enjoyed the concert immensely.
