Laudate Singers - The Choir of the North Shore

Laudate means praise, and for Laudate Singers, every concert is a joyful celebration. Founded in 1995 by current artistic director Lars Kaario, this professional chamber choir skillfully and passionately presents repertoire that spans centuries, cultures and genres. Whether it's medieval, Baroque, Renaissance, classical, Romantic or contemporary...great choral works of the Western canon or music from the Celtic, South African, Latin American, Chinese, Finnish, Quebecois, or Coast Salish traditions ... Laudate Singers combine technical artistry with the ability to make all kinds of choral music accessible, and the final result is always luminous and transcendent.

Laudate Singers are committed champions of Canadian choral music; the choir has maintained a composer-in-residence program since 1995, and commissions and performs new Canadian works every season. Audiences at Laudate Singers’ concerts frequently hear music that has never been heard in public before! The choir has recorded four critically-acclaimed CDs: A Baroque Christmas, Christmas Journey, Songs of Heaven and Earth, and Celtic Journey.
