The Vancouver Master Chorale is in its 75th year of performing a range of choral music with a crew of volunteer singers. The choir has gone through several names and directors since 1949, and has toured across Canada, Europe and Hawaii. Today, the choir has grown to more than 100 members and performs everything from Beethoven to Billy Joel.

Jana Hart is the music director for the Vancouver Master Chorale. Brenda Hall has been a member since 1974, and Daniel Trushov joined just last year. We talk to them about the history of the choir and what it’s meant to community members over the last seven decades.
