2016 Choirs

The Richmond Singers - Canada

The Richmond Singers, the longest-standing community choir in Richmond, is a 55-voice women’s choir founded in 1971.  They sing a wide range of music in many languages, from classical and sacred arrangements to traditional, pop, Broadway, folk, and jazz pieces.  United by a common passion for singing quality choral music and sharing the camaraderie of other women, they present two major concerts annually as well as performing at numerous community and charity events.  The Richmond Singers enjoys sharing the stage with other choirs, the most recent being the Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir, and encourages participation by youth singers either as soloists or as choirs.  They have participated in many festivals both locally (Expo 86) and nationally (Unisong in Ottawa and Festival 500 in Newfoundland) and are thrilled to be part of Kathaumixw 2016.
