Members of the Highs and Lows Choir and the MPA Society enjoyed singing with each other and with Highs and Lows Director Earle as he led Choral Singing Workshops for us on Mondays, May 11, May 18, June 01, and July 27, 2026. We learned about how to better sing in unison and in harmony with each other.

All are looking forward to future workshops together.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us at our FUNdaising concert on Saturday, July 25, 2026. Our concert featured a wonderful performance of songs from our repertoire and included guest performances by:

We sang a short concert as part of the BC Schizophrenia Society’s Voices of Hope: From Expression to Understanding event on Saturday, May 23, 2026 at the Cultch Historic Theatre. We appreciated hearing the perspectives and insights of those with Schizophrenia and psychosis and from those who are caregivers for those with these brain illnesses. We also enjoyed the wonderful treats.

We were happy to again perform songs from our repertoire and lead a sing-along at Millennium Tower on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.

We enjoy your enthusiastic participation, joyful reception of our music, kindness to our honorary infant member of the choir, and the wonderful refreshments after the performance.

We look forward to visiting your home again.

Choir members met on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 for our Annual General Meeting.

We reviewed last year’s minutes, listened to reports from different choir members, reviewed our financial statements, and expressed appreciation for all of the work many of our members have done to support the choir.

We continue to seek out new funding sources as we no longer receive grants from the BC Government and recently learned we were not receiving a grant from the City of Vancouver this year. After the AGM was officially adjourned, we held a second meeting to discuss our fundraising concert and other fundraising ideas.

Please visit our Donate page if you are interested in providing support to our choir.
